"America is in debt" is a very interesting article
The other day, the media were filled with reports of the true indicators of public debt of the United States of America. Press is a statement of Professor Kotlikoff, a former economic adviser to Ronald Reagan, and Professor James Hamilton of Economics University of California. Then "Hvilya" appeared analytical material Alexander Rogers, too, regarding the U.S. debt. Updated with information about what the Germans demanded their gold from the cellars of the Fed left holding the bag: bullion as if there is, but for some reason they will remain in the United States. A little earlier, in July, on the topic of American gold made a sensational statement by one authoritative companion: Managing the Hong Kong hedge fund manager William Kay, a quarter of a century has worked on «Goldman Sachs».
German Bundesbank demanded the repatriation of its gold stored in the cellars of the U.S. Federal Reserve, the U.S. central bank but decided not to give Germany the gold.
But Germany at the central bank keeps the U.S. about half of its gold reserves.
And the more often you can hear that the gold from the Fed is not so much: it is either sold or given into debt, or used as a financial guarantee.
America is in debt
Managing the Hong Kong hedge fund William Kay, a quarter century has worked on «Goldman Sachs» in mergers and acquisitions, told about the missing gold, the Fed and Germany.
Kay told the interviewer that gold is handed in China in the rent. It recognized the major central banks - and the Fed and the European Central Bank and the Bank of England. All of them are involved in the wholesale of gold leasing market.
Here is a description of the "leasing" of practice: the Fed communicates with his agent, usually «JP Morgan », less« Goldman Sachs », and they say, 'OK, the price of gold should be restricted, here are 20, 30, 40, 50 tons of gold, which we give you for rent as his agent. But, theoretically, we can recall him back. "
The practice is different from the theory that called «JP Morgan »and« Goldman Sachs »gold received simply sell on the market. These banks from trading in precious metals held mainly short position in gold, winning the fall in prices, said Kay. And the Fed says: "... Well, we still have a contract in which in theory we can withdraw gold. So in the official documents we let that continue to own it. "
"But in reality, the gold was sold in the market. This gold is moved to places such as Beijing. But before we get to Beijing, it often passes through Hong Kong. And there it goes to our contractors for processing, to the same people with whom we deal. And by the way, Eric, maybe we hold that the gold that Germany considers its asset. But Germany will never see this gold, because it is safely stored in my account (s) accounts for our investors in the Hong Kong International Airport.
This is gold, which at the time of arrival in Hong Kong could be a symbol of the Bundesbank, the leading processor, one of the largest in the world, working with the People's Bank of China, has certified, "Yes, we got the gold, which can supply. We melted it, we determined the sample. Perhaps it was a sign of the Bundesbank on admission, but now it has melted. It 0.9999 (pure) gold. "
Gold Fed that Americans consider their own, left. German gold, which the Germans said that it will be picked up after seven years, generally do not have the Fed. It anywhere: at the People's Bank of China, at the Reserve Bank of India, the Russian Central Bank.
Now, comrade Kay concludes, the Fed and the U.S. Treasury, "probably do not have anything."
U.S. national debt has reached an incredible performance. According to official data, its size is approaching $ 17 trillion. dollars, but experts believe that the duty of a lot more.
The correspondent «RT» Katie Pilbeam held figurative comparison: the amount of U.S. government debt can be compared with the cost of the most influential IT-company: The official size of the U.S. debt is equal to the value of 40 companies «Apple», but unofficial amount of debt in excess of 70 trillion. $ 165 is equal to «Apple».
A former economic adviser to President Reagan Professor Kotlikoff believes that the situation is much worse: he estimates, we are talking about 211 trillion. USD, which is similar to the cost of 500 companies «Apple».
Number of seventy trillion calculated the staff of the Economic University of California (San Diego). By the conclusion that the United States gained more than 70 trillion. U.S. national debt, the study came to Professor James Hamilton.
According to official sources in Washington, said the channel «RT», since the beginning of the 2008 crisis, the U.S. national debt has increased from $ 5 trillion. Up to $ 16 trillion. $. Every year, taxpayers are forced to cover the interest on the debt of $ 220 billion
Where such a lot of debts? It turns out that five years ago, the U.S. Federal Reserve has pumped money into the economy and bought a lot of assets. This was called the long-term maintenance budget. It was assumed in this way to reduce interest rates and to attract investment into the economy.
Of course, the amount of the debt has been growing every year. Now, the Congressional Budget Office counted that mere interest on the debt in 2021 will exceed the government spending on the military in 2013.
James Hamilton does not understand how the authorities managed to conceal these huge sums. U.S. debt consists of debt of states, corporations and individuals, the future of social benefits, etc., in short, all the money that the federal government owes to all creditors.
Networking economic publication for investors "Market Leader" makes clear that the bulk of U.S. government debt accounts for medical program «Medicare» (about 55 trillion).
Interesting view of the head of the management company "personal strategy" Stanislaus Mashagina that causes "Market Leader". The expert believes that the United States bought the music themselves, because their liabilities are denominated mostly in U.S. dollars. For example, Warren Buffett argues that the U.S. government can not go bankrupt because it can print dollars to cover liabilities in dollars.
On the popular resource "Hvilya" a long article by Alexander Rogers, giving the overall picture of what is happening now in the United States.
U.S. national debt is about 16.9 trillion dollars, the author notes, and the GDP of the United States is officially 15.85 trillion. The ratio of debt to GDP is about 106.6% (from "being in a deep pit of Ukraine", the analyst compares this kind of attitude - about 90%).
In per capita terms, the U.S. national debt is over 53,400 dollars and on a per taxpayer has obtained 148 thousand dollars. Meanwhile, the annual income of the average American - 33000, with a tendency to decrease.
In this case, the U.S. trade deficit - 693 billion, of which 318 billion - the trade deficit with China.
In addition, in the United States begins the "parade of defaults" on the city level. In addition to Detroit, the direct route to bankruptcy are more than 450 U.S. cities. Among them are: San Diego, Providence, Long Beach, and even Los Angeles. "Parade" could take place in the autumn of this year and in 2014.
The author then proceeds to American companies. More precisely, to the largest corporations.
Out of the country over the past two decades has been derived approximately 43,000 manufacturing companies, or three-quarters of the industrial potential. All it took in the countries of the so-called "Third World." Steve Jobs once participated in a congressional hearing on the question, "Can I get a production« Apple »from China to the U.S.?", Said that for this purpose in the United States do not have sufficient technological base.
The analyst writes:
"Lockheed" - bankrupt. "Boeing" on the verge of bankruptcy and mass layoffs. "Hewlett Packard" - the loss of a significant part of the market and mass layoffs (but CEO not forget to write yourself a bonus of 250 million for the "effective control"). "General Motors" survived only due to the huge financial investments at the expense of the state. And these key industries only display the general bleak picture of the U.S. economy. "
Alexander Rogers believes the U.S. - is "a poster of a liberal market economy." For the "bright candy wrappers" out there "hidden rotten stuffing."
"Credit incentives (and other ways to stimulate the production in the market system is not) - a kind of drug, giving temporary lift followed by an inevitable decline. It happens everywhere, "marketeers" have the upper hand - in the U.S., the EU, have fallen under their influence in developing countries. In particular, we can observe the collapse of the industry in the countries of the former Soviet Union who have been liberal reforms. "
And every day to feed the illusion of well-being of the American market becomes more difficult, the author notes.
How does the fuel feed on illusions? Then clean postmodernism: Illusions feed on other illusions. The illusion of sitting on an illusion, and illusion chases. This lzhetvorchestve involved and large corporations. Here's a view from the United States itself (contrpost.com).
Analyst resents the fact that many Russian economists, including the "first-class", asserting that Europe comes out of recession, and the U.S. has completely left it. More recently, "one unrecognized genius" said that the United States are rising as much as 3.5% in the quarter. The author points out that it is - "utter poppycock." Corporate reports in America - the "solid basswood." Here's an example: the company "Enron" forged corporate accountability, and then collapsed in a single day. Today, almost any U.S. company on Wall Street, said the journalist, forges his papers - in order to show a profit. (Otherwise, the action will fail!)
Thus, the United States has been actively engaged in that or print their green wrappers (that is, their printing and primary production) or wishful thinking (and that of their services). In the inflation of financial and other bubbles, they have become the greatest experts. As for what was once told Congress, Mr. Jobs, it's not just the technological basis and in competition, and the super-profits that are used to get the owners of corporations. In this sense, from the «Apple» is no different than, say, a corporation «Microsoft». Pick up at least a computer mouse, which was released under this brand - and you can read on it: «Made in China».
German Bundesbank demanded the repatriation of its gold stored in the cellars of the U.S. Federal Reserve, the U.S. central bank but decided not to give Germany the gold.

$ 1.4 billion for the Obama family.
For the maintenance of the U.S. president and his family out of the state budget allocated almost 25 times more than the British Treasury spends the entire royal family. In 2011, notes fbii.org citing MrConservative.com, a family of Barack Obama spent $ 1.4 billion, and the Windsors have cost taxpayers $ 57.8 million.
These huge amounts of money the U.S. spends on President flights, life in hotels, entertainment, and salaries for employees. By the way, the cost for the year 2011 was a record in the history of America.
Compared with its predecessors Obama has the largest population on the staff, but this staff - the highest salaries. Obama has 469 employees, 226 of whom earn more than 100,000 dollars a year.
For example, 102,000 dollars in 2011 were spent on ... caretaker for the family dog. And the White House projectionist on duty (24 hours): what if someone close to the president will want to watch a movie.

USA: the blind leading the blind
In January 2013 Barack Obama at a press conference at the White House summed up his work for the first term in office. His statement was so contrary to all that he has done and continues to do what is necessary to bring a small excerpt from it. "Our economy is growing, creating new jobs - we will have a good year, but only if we take smart decisions, we make safe investments, and if the politicians in Washington will not be on the path of progress of the nation" - was quoted as saying " euronews " .
As you can see, there's a lot of things: the creation of new jobs, and the announcement in 2013 "good" and "smart solutions", and the irony about the fact that "politics in Washington" will not prevent progress of the nation. The impression that we are talking about the period of Reaganomics, and not on the board of the crisis Mr. Obama's presidency that is sure to become worse by the economic results of the previous reign, chosen people - George W. Bush, a great specialist in the history, geography and expert in military affairs .
Where progresses American nation, recently told the Washington correspondent for the channel«RT» Gayane Chichakyan. While the U.S. leads in innovation and technology, but the question is whether States retain their positions. And the answer to that question appears to be the experts, can be found in American schools. In the world rankings on knowledge of mathematics 15-year-old students from the United States ranked 25th. Well, if it was in the ranking of 200 seats, the result would have been beyond praise. But the rating of only 34 seats. And who is there first? Chinese, American teenagers peers. Harvard University published a report on the results of the study entitled "The Global Challenge: are American students to compete?" Scientists have tried to establish a link between school performance in mathematics and economic development of the country. According to their estimates, the current performance of young Americans in the discipline cost the country over the next 80 years at 75 trillion dollars, that is probably for a trillion per year will be "fucked" because of Losers, quitters and those who simply do not flogs in mathematics . One of the authors of the Harvard study, Stanford University Professor Eric Hanushek, an expert on the economic analysis in the field of education, said:
The correspondent asked the professor why American students perform poorly in math. What was the main reason? turns out, it's not about the money. seems largely a matter of the quality of teachers, according to the professor. There are, of course, the problem with the curriculum and textbooks, but most importantly - a teacher. The study found that it is they who are most influential on school performance. As China puts on science and technology in schools, the United States rolled back. Obama is aware that his country is already far not as good as it was once. Speaking to senators, he said:
There will be, of course. But Obama said will remain a talking, if only because that the development of education, he did absolutely nothing. On the contrary, it's when it became famous Harvard students pervasive cheating. In February 2013 some 60 students of the university were expelled after the massive cheating in the exam for the lightest course titled "Fundamentals of the Congress."Obama himself, is also a Harvard slowpoke, in the United States totaled fifty seven states and stated that the car invented in the U.S., and Bush, his predecessor as president, and another Harvard graduate, rubbed his pants in the White House for eight years, believed that Afghanistan and Iraq - is in Africa, Australia confused with Austria, Slovakia with Slovenia, and APEC with OPEC. U.S. high-tech companies from "Microsoft" to "Intel", used to employ immigrants. First, they can pay a fraction, and secondly, Hedhantery always bring the best. Thus, the completion of a highly skilled labor market is outside, not inside, which can not absorb talker Obama. (Well, nothing Gorbachev?) Employers are not interested in an expensive American Manpower and the problems of teaching mathematics and technical subjects in the United States they do not care. Employers are interested in profit, and the production of many firms have long displayed in the same China. Obama seems not so naive as to believe blindly in native mathematical progress of the nation, and is well aware that "smart solutions" of which he speaks to senators - an empty phrase. It was empty: according to the Russian saying goes, ringing in the empty barrel more. How did Obama come to power? And it's simple: with the help of "undecided". Here's what is written on this subject American Galina Belokurova online Slon.ru - very accurately and briefly:
Miracles, as we know, does not happen. Well, except in fairy tales. But the policy - not a fairy tale.And so happened, "one of two", I mean a failure. Ekaterina Kravchenko and Pauline Khimshiashvili (Vedomosti.ru ) presented data on the "success", reached U.S. under Obama. "I want every American to know that we will build all over again, we will recover, and the United States will again be stronger than before, "- Mr. Obama promised a keynote speech before Congress in early 2009.These are the words, but deeds. Unemployment rose from 5.8% in 2008 to 8.1% in 2012, the OECD predicts the growth rate of private consumption in the country will grow from 1.9% to 2,1-2, 9% in 2013, the public sector - will continue to decline (by 1% in 2012, by 0.5% - up to 2013 and 0.8% - in 2014). Tore Obama and his own promise to achieve in short term double-declining budget deficit inherited from the Bush administration (with a 1.3 trillion. dollars to 533 billion dollars). U.S. national debt has increased from 71.6% of GDP in 2008 to 109.8% in 2012, the national debt trend growth in the next two years will not be able to reverse: the level of public debt will rise from 109.8% to 114.1% of GDP by 2014 ., analysts predict that the OECD. All of this can already safely be called a road to stagnation. "We expect a good year," Yes, Mr. Obama? This ironic question Americans are entitled to ask their president. Sergei Selin ( "Rosbalt" ) writes:
When Obama came the budget sequestration. He grew up government debt. In May, the United States has once again started to act on the debt ceiling bill. Ceiling rebuilt on a new level - about 16.7 trillion. dollars, reports Trend. Itar-Tass Kirsanov . Problems with the service this debt, as the Minister of Finance has assured Jacob Lew, the federal government is not expected until September. Obviously, in September, will break another "black" day, and Republican hawks will again become furiously peck Democrat Obama. "Trusted investment" that everyone interprets Obama is nothing like printing money substitutes with machine Fed, Ben Bernanke managed smiling. For the uninformed crowd these activities on a mystical economic language referred to as "quantitative easing program." In Russia, these "programs" are called printing wrappers.
In foreign policy, too, for it is difficult to find at least one outcome that would justify'm not the Nobel Peace Prize, Obama issued in advance (this is the pieces of silver for Libya, it should be), but something useful for the United States. Iraq? But it worked for Bush. And Obama, Prime Minister al-Maliki explained that this is wrong - I believe that Iraq "someone's patrimony." Afghanistan, where the U.S. jostle in 2001? If we assume that the achievement of annual growth of opium poppy crops there, and in recent years, and hemp, then Obama certainly should enroll in the foremost agriculture. Afghanistan now supplies the world more than 90% of raw materials for the manufacture of heroin. Under Obama, even Karzai began to act against the United States. Bret Stephens ( "The Wall Street Journal" , the source-language - "Inopressa" ) reminded readers of the book, Henry Kissinger, "Does America Need a Foreign Policy?", published a few months before the attacks on September 11, 2001 year. The name of the book, says columnist - a fundamental and prophetic. "It is predicted Barack Obama and the America for which it stands," - writes Bret Stephens. The author explains:
Three scandal involving the White House shocked the United States in recent months. Byussar Stephen ( "Le Temps" ; Russian-language source - "Inopressa" ) identified in its submission scandals involving wiretapping of journalists «Associated Press», with preconceived checks conservative NGOs IRS and the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. They broke out in the most unfavorable time for Barack Obama. "Three of these crisis can forge it as" Irangate "- Ronald Reagan, and the case Lewinsky - Bill Clinton" - said the reporter. Presentation of two senior officials of the U.S. State Department added fuel to the fire of a long-standing scandal with the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. At a congressional hearing diplomats said that the Obama administration did not take seriously warnings about security threats in Libya. In addition, the White House tried to cover up the attack on the consulate is actually the base of the CIA, was committed by Islamic radicals that Obama could continue to play the card of victory over the "Al-Qaeda" in his presidential race. "Congressmen from the Republican Party, in part responsible for what happened because they did not just embassies refused to tighten security, are not going to miss the prey "- sums up the reporter. Employees of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) should be responsible for enhanced checks on opposition groups, said President Barack Obama after scandal inspections of NGOs. The corresponding statement quoted Obama corr. RIA "Novosti" Peter Martynychev : "The audit revealed unacceptable and unforgivable things. The federal government must be worthy of the public trust. I asked the Minister of Finance to bring the perpetrators to justice. " The fact is that the Internal Revenue Service has arranged additional checks qualify for tax-exempt status of 75 organizations whose titles included the word "patriot" or "tea party." Opposition Republicans and conservative press reported that the IRS solved the problem of political struggle. It clarifies"Lenta.ru," with reference to «CBS News», checks were carried out for at least 18 months - starting in 2010. Also, the administration of U.S. President has come under fire criticism of the investigation, which started the country's Ministry of Justice in respect of the information agency "Associated Press" reports Trend. RIA "Novosti" Alex Bogdanovsky . U.S. Department of Justice on May 10 informed the news agency that received a printout of calls from 20 phone lines, "AR" for April and May 2012. A spokesman for the White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration would not comment on the situation with the agency, but under pressure from journalists reported that Barack Obama supports the freedom of the press. representative of the American Civil Liberties Union Ben Wisner, said: "Getting a wide range of telephone records to fish the person who gave the leak from the government - is an unacceptable abuse of power. Freedom of the press - the basis of democracy, and that freedom is often dependent on a confidential communication between reporters and their sources. ' "Reporters without Borders" called the action of the U.S. authorities in respect of the agency "exceptionally serious violation of freedom of information." Not only in the newspaper «The Daily Beast "transmits the "RT" , appeared the material in which it was stated that in respect of the freedom of speech, U.S. President Barack Obama is even worse than the originator of the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon. Members of the media are concerned that the government treated them as spies. The correspondent «RT» Gayane Chichakyan told that the U.S. Justice Department not only requested a personal email correspondents channel «Fox News», but also said that James Rosen was "an accomplice , partner and / or member of the conspiracy "in connection with the fact that the published information from the U.S. State Department employee. Colleagues Rosen protested the fact that a journalist called a criminal simply for the fulfillment of his duties."crusade against the president of journalists aimed at ensuring that citizens no longer learned about the abuse of prisoners, about listening to the phone without a court order, and such things," - said Neill McDonald, a correspondent for the Canadian television channel CBC. Under Obama against reporters was filed more cases than all other U.S. presidents combined. Same «The Daily Beast» argues that freedom of speech Obama behaves worse than the culprit Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon. According to the newspaper «The Seattle Times», the Obama administration has filed six cases against journalists and their informants. Well, it would seem , Obama's rating should be shaken from such failures. However, we all remember how Hillary Clinton's rating jumped when she was questioned in the past year with an addiction (brought to hysterics) Senators - about the tragedy in Benghazi. Whether because of the "tough questions" of Republican senators, either because Hillary misbehaved, but in January 2013 she was the most popular politician in the United States. She jumped "favorability rating", almost as temperatures have influenza. He has reached a "huge" 67 percent (the survey results «Washington Post» / «ABC News»). This means that sixty seven percent of Americans are positive about the activities of Secretary of State. Since that January day, Hillary Clinton is a clear favorite of the presidential race in 2016 for the Democratic Party. Despite the scandals, rating Obama, though not increased, but did not fall. Russian service of the "Voice of America" May 20 passed, more than half of Americans approve of his job President, despite the outbreak of the U.S. scandals of the Internal Revenue Service, collecting data about the calls of journalists «Associated Press» and the terrorist attack in Benghazi. According to the survey broadcaster «CNN», conducted jointly with «ORC International», 53% of Americans approves of Barack Obama, while 45% - disapproves. In April, Obama's rating was 51%. According to experts, talk about the growth ranking is not necessary, because the margin of error is 3%. Nevertheless, 53% is still more than 51%. director Polls «CNN» Keating Holland notes that the approval rating, which remains above 50%, - good news for Democrats. Thus,Gorbachev Obama can safely say three and a half years on the construction of developed socialism job creation, smart solutions and reliable investment, as well as the educational system closely with employers about the employment future mathematicians and engineers. Americans should know that Washington's policies will not stand in the way of progress of the nation. And if China starts its educated cadres to push the U.S. economy, it will have to deal with the U.S. Navy. Unless, of course, this fleet will not eat regular sequestration.
As you can see, there's a lot of things: the creation of new jobs, and the announcement in 2013 "good" and "smart solutions", and the irony about the fact that "politics in Washington" will not prevent progress of the nation. The impression that we are talking about the period of Reaganomics, and not on the board of the crisis Mr. Obama's presidency that is sure to become worse by the economic results of the previous reign, chosen people - George W. Bush, a great specialist in the history, geography and expert in military affairs .
Where progresses American nation, recently told the Washington correspondent for the channel«RT» Gayane Chichakyan. While the U.S. leads in innovation and technology, but the question is whether States retain their positions. And the answer to that question appears to be the experts, can be found in American schools. In the world rankings on knowledge of mathematics 15-year-old students from the United States ranked 25th. Well, if it was in the ranking of 200 seats, the result would have been beyond praise. But the rating of only 34 seats. And who is there first? Chinese, American teenagers peers. Harvard University published a report on the results of the study entitled "The Global Challenge: are American students to compete?" Scientists have tried to establish a link between school performance in mathematics and economic development of the country. According to their estimates, the current performance of young Americans in the discipline cost the country over the next 80 years at 75 trillion dollars, that is probably for a trillion per year will be "fucked" because of Losers, quitters and those who simply do not flogs in mathematics . One of the authors of the Harvard study, Stanford University Professor Eric Hanushek, an expert on the economic analysis in the field of education, said:
"This is an extremely important factor. If in the next 20 years we will be able to improve our schools, it will allow a 5-fold increase in U.S. GDP, compared to current levels. "
The correspondent asked the professor why American students perform poorly in math. What was the main reason? turns out, it's not about the money. seems largely a matter of the quality of teachers, according to the professor. There are, of course, the problem with the curriculum and textbooks, but most importantly - a teacher. The study found that it is they who are most influential on school performance. As China puts on science and technology in schools, the United States rolled back. Obama is aware that his country is already far not as good as it was once. Speaking to senators, he said:
"We will promote cooperation between schools with colleges and employers, as well as create special classes with intensive study of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. After all, the knowledge required by employers today and will be in demand in the future. "
There will be, of course. But Obama said will remain a talking, if only because that the development of education, he did absolutely nothing. On the contrary, it's when it became famous Harvard students pervasive cheating. In February 2013 some 60 students of the university were expelled after the massive cheating in the exam for the lightest course titled "Fundamentals of the Congress."Obama himself, is also a Harvard slowpoke, in the United States totaled fifty seven states and stated that the car invented in the U.S., and Bush, his predecessor as president, and another Harvard graduate, rubbed his pants in the White House for eight years, believed that Afghanistan and Iraq - is in Africa, Australia confused with Austria, Slovakia with Slovenia, and APEC with OPEC. U.S. high-tech companies from "Microsoft" to "Intel", used to employ immigrants. First, they can pay a fraction, and secondly, Hedhantery always bring the best. Thus, the completion of a highly skilled labor market is outside, not inside, which can not absorb talker Obama. (Well, nothing Gorbachev?) Employers are not interested in an expensive American Manpower and the problems of teaching mathematics and technical subjects in the United States they do not care. Employers are interested in profit, and the production of many firms have long displayed in the same China. Obama seems not so naive as to believe blindly in native mathematical progress of the nation, and is well aware that "smart solutions" of which he speaks to senators - an empty phrase. It was empty: according to the Russian saying goes, ringing in the empty barrel more. How did Obama come to power? And it's simple: with the help of "undecided". Here's what is written on this subject American Galina Belokurova online Slon.ru - very accurately and briefly:
"The American electoral system is arranged so that the main struggle is always unfolding for higher turnout and votes of undecided voters. Because the active registered voters almost never change their minds, they are difficult to persuade. undecided voters - it's mostly the poor, blacks and young people. In all these categories, Obama managed to get a convincing majority.Obama won, even in those states where people seldom vote for the Democrats. Although his presidency from the beginning promised to be very difficult, even without the global economic crisis. Too radical positions and held his own, and Republican voters: those waiting for a miracle, the other - a complete failure. "
Miracles, as we know, does not happen. Well, except in fairy tales. But the policy - not a fairy tale.And so happened, "one of two", I mean a failure. Ekaterina Kravchenko and Pauline Khimshiashvili (Vedomosti.ru ) presented data on the "success", reached U.S. under Obama. "I want every American to know that we will build all over again, we will recover, and the United States will again be stronger than before, "- Mr. Obama promised a keynote speech before Congress in early 2009.These are the words, but deeds. Unemployment rose from 5.8% in 2008 to 8.1% in 2012, the OECD predicts the growth rate of private consumption in the country will grow from 1.9% to 2,1-2, 9% in 2013, the public sector - will continue to decline (by 1% in 2012, by 0.5% - up to 2013 and 0.8% - in 2014). Tore Obama and his own promise to achieve in short term double-declining budget deficit inherited from the Bush administration (with a 1.3 trillion. dollars to 533 billion dollars). U.S. national debt has increased from 71.6% of GDP in 2008 to 109.8% in 2012, the national debt trend growth in the next two years will not be able to reverse: the level of public debt will rise from 109.8% to 114.1% of GDP by 2014 ., analysts predict that the OECD. All of this can already safely be called a road to stagnation. "We expect a good year," Yes, Mr. Obama? This ironic question Americans are entitled to ask their president. Sergei Selin ( "Rosbalt" ) writes:
"The problem of America today is not only and not so much the fact that Obama, in which the updater for some reason saw the American Dream, was trivial, maloprimechatelnym talker. Much more serious problem is the lack of public will to a dramatic upgrade, though its necessity is long overdue. Accordingly, the new Reagan on the American horizon yet to be seen. "
When Obama came the budget sequestration. He grew up government debt. In May, the United States has once again started to act on the debt ceiling bill. Ceiling rebuilt on a new level - about 16.7 trillion. dollars, reports Trend. Itar-Tass Kirsanov . Problems with the service this debt, as the Minister of Finance has assured Jacob Lew, the federal government is not expected until September. Obviously, in September, will break another "black" day, and Republican hawks will again become furiously peck Democrat Obama. "Trusted investment" that everyone interprets Obama is nothing like printing money substitutes with machine Fed, Ben Bernanke managed smiling. For the uninformed crowd these activities on a mystical economic language referred to as "quantitative easing program." In Russia, these "programs" are called printing wrappers.
"However, what ultimately will respond mad money already made and handed out by Obama and Bernanke, no one really knows - says S. Schelin ( "Rosbalt" ). - All of these wholly unsecured trillions of dollars, some of which are related to the different timing of ways, and often even free, can now pour anywhere. Yesterday, they flooded the commodity markets, oil prices vzduvaya.Today, they are attacking the equity markets, making market indexes, despite the stagnation of the economy, suddenly soared to record heights. Tomorrow may crawl up consumer price inflation, or, conversely, the stock market crash occur with all its charms - the decline in production and a surge in unemployment. "
In foreign policy, too, for it is difficult to find at least one outcome that would justify'm not the Nobel Peace Prize, Obama issued in advance (this is the pieces of silver for Libya, it should be), but something useful for the United States. Iraq? But it worked for Bush. And Obama, Prime Minister al-Maliki explained that this is wrong - I believe that Iraq "someone's patrimony." Afghanistan, where the U.S. jostle in 2001? If we assume that the achievement of annual growth of opium poppy crops there, and in recent years, and hemp, then Obama certainly should enroll in the foremost agriculture. Afghanistan now supplies the world more than 90% of raw materials for the manufacture of heroin. Under Obama, even Karzai began to act against the United States. Bret Stephens ( "The Wall Street Journal" , the source-language - "Inopressa" ) reminded readers of the book, Henry Kissinger, "Does America Need a Foreign Policy?", published a few months before the attacks on September 11, 2001 year. The name of the book, says columnist - a fundamental and prophetic. "It is predicted Barack Obama and the America for which it stands," - writes Bret Stephens. The author explains:
"This is America resides somewhere between mild anxiety and happy indifference to the fact that the world beyond our shores is in incredibly poor condition. Iran is close to getting the bomb?This seems to be inevitable. Syria's chemical weapons hanging around like tennis balls will roll?Their problem. Islamism spread across the Arab world? This is a democracy, will understand.Vladimir Putin revives the practice of grandstanding lawsuits? What a shame. China is the idea of war with Japan? Will understand. "
Three scandal involving the White House shocked the United States in recent months. Byussar Stephen ( "Le Temps" ; Russian-language source - "Inopressa" ) identified in its submission scandals involving wiretapping of journalists «Associated Press», with preconceived checks conservative NGOs IRS and the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. They broke out in the most unfavorable time for Barack Obama. "Three of these crisis can forge it as" Irangate "- Ronald Reagan, and the case Lewinsky - Bill Clinton" - said the reporter. Presentation of two senior officials of the U.S. State Department added fuel to the fire of a long-standing scandal with the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. At a congressional hearing diplomats said that the Obama administration did not take seriously warnings about security threats in Libya. In addition, the White House tried to cover up the attack on the consulate is actually the base of the CIA, was committed by Islamic radicals that Obama could continue to play the card of victory over the "Al-Qaeda" in his presidential race. "Congressmen from the Republican Party, in part responsible for what happened because they did not just embassies refused to tighten security, are not going to miss the prey "- sums up the reporter. Employees of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) should be responsible for enhanced checks on opposition groups, said President Barack Obama after scandal inspections of NGOs. The corresponding statement quoted Obama corr. RIA "Novosti" Peter Martynychev : "The audit revealed unacceptable and unforgivable things. The federal government must be worthy of the public trust. I asked the Minister of Finance to bring the perpetrators to justice. " The fact is that the Internal Revenue Service has arranged additional checks qualify for tax-exempt status of 75 organizations whose titles included the word "patriot" or "tea party." Opposition Republicans and conservative press reported that the IRS solved the problem of political struggle. It clarifies"Lenta.ru," with reference to «CBS News», checks were carried out for at least 18 months - starting in 2010. Also, the administration of U.S. President has come under fire criticism of the investigation, which started the country's Ministry of Justice in respect of the information agency "Associated Press" reports Trend. RIA "Novosti" Alex Bogdanovsky . U.S. Department of Justice on May 10 informed the news agency that received a printout of calls from 20 phone lines, "AR" for April and May 2012. A spokesman for the White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration would not comment on the situation with the agency, but under pressure from journalists reported that Barack Obama supports the freedom of the press. representative of the American Civil Liberties Union Ben Wisner, said: "Getting a wide range of telephone records to fish the person who gave the leak from the government - is an unacceptable abuse of power. Freedom of the press - the basis of democracy, and that freedom is often dependent on a confidential communication between reporters and their sources. ' "Reporters without Borders" called the action of the U.S. authorities in respect of the agency "exceptionally serious violation of freedom of information." Not only in the newspaper «The Daily Beast "transmits the "RT" , appeared the material in which it was stated that in respect of the freedom of speech, U.S. President Barack Obama is even worse than the originator of the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon.

What will kill western civilization ?
Variants The End of Western Civilization in abundance. They are nothing less than the rebirth of the same options of the West: a shale oil shale gas well, which likes to remember the television vain fellow Leontiev, 3D printing technology, robomeditsiny seven-mile pace, striding straight to immortality, the final victory over global terrorism - probably in the form of adoption in Europe and the United States of Sharia, and in parallel across the complete triumph of tolerance in the form of building an earthly paradise for homosexuals, pedophiles and other representatives of the vanguard detachment of social progress. West End also can come from broadcasting propaganda channel «Russia Today», the carefully calculated hackers from wobbling euro and the dollar collapse, from the purchase of Russian-Chinese gold from the debt crisis in the eurozone, from the above-mentioned tolerance, disastrous policies of neo-colonialism, which moved from Africa to some European "fiefdom" like Cyprus, Greece or Spain from becoming remnants of democracy in the ordinary dictatorship, from the collapse of the education system (this is when Americans are confused with the Czech Republic Chechnya and Georgia with the State of Georgia, and plan the bombing, Without looking at a map of the world). Same point in the history of Western civilization will put ... "Twitter".
Versions of the western renaissance look extremely doubtful, and therefore we will not consider them, and proceed directly to The End of Western Civilization.
I. In recent days gossekretarskie (February this year) Mrs. Hillary Clinton acknowledged with pleasure: the United States of America losing the global information war. In an interview with correspondent «Russia Today» Gayane Chichakyan, Clinton admitted that the transfer looks «RT», and then complained that the U.S. private media can not cope with advocacy efforts. Blatant and Hillary did not hide the fact that the U.S. is in a state of information war with Russia. And in this war is not won victories «CNN», namely «Russia Today».
Hillary believes that: 1) the American media since Mr. Gorbachev relaxed, and 2) pursue private media, according to Clinton, the objectives are contrary to American values, and 3) Russian meanwhile created a magnificent «RT».
Victory «RT» recognized and decaying Europe. German «Tagesspiegel» writes that the success of the Russian TV network has changed the position of the weights of bowls: the West was at the bottom, in a defensive position. The Germans say that today «RT» along with "Gazprom" and the arms trade - the most effective tool of Russian foreign policy.
The power of propaganda «RT» is that the audience appears duplicitous, through fake world of Western politics. World going toyu samoyu the way, we would add that once successfully outlined friend Spengler.
II. April 23 Syrian hackers have rocked the Western world to the very valuable foundation. The guys from the "Syrian Electronic Army" hacked account «Associated Press» to "tweet" and spread false information about the terrorist attack at the White House.
The public, in tusuyuschayasya "Twitter", grabbed the head: it turns out, the White House destroyed by two explosions, terrorists rejoice, and Mr. Obama is heavily wounded. In the U.S., reeling and twitching securities market indexes: not all realized that the news was "fabricated." Favorite American speculators, the Dow Jones fell by 136 points - for some few minutes. In the West, "Twitter" used to believe.
In fake tweet saying that the White House two explosions, and the U.S. president was wounded: "Urgent news: two explosions in the White House, Barack Obama and wounded."
III. The rating agency «Standard & Poor's» recently downgraded the fall in GDP in the euro area in 2013 to 0.5%. Previously, it was a decline of 0.1%. But because of the difficult financial situation of the scale of reduction may increase to five times! Finishes off the proverbial situation of Cyprus since its beginning by "clipping" of deposits. And it's not just Cyprus. The collapse of the banking system of Cyprus, grows stronger crises in Greece, Spain and other "peripheral" countries of the EU, it seems about to achieve a single European currency. Eurozone recession is inevitable. Solutions like Cyprus, now fear in Spain. In Greece. At any time, soft aid "sick" economy may be replaced by surgery - the expropriation of money.
As for the dollar (also known as petrodollar) that its position in world trade passes is not as fast as the euro, were pressing him on the BRICS countries, Japan and even Australia. All this is due to the fact that world trade is now tied to China, and not to the countries of the West, among them the United States. Not only that, the other day BRICS countries agreed to set up a development bank that would compete with the IMF. It is created to work in a "posledollarovogo" world.
Marin Catoosa of «Casey Research» recalls that the bulk of the dollar's value stems from the ligament with the oil industry: if the dollar-oil monopoly order to live long, and the same thing will happen to the value of the dollar. And there is one outcome that can be predicted is certain: gold will go up.
IV. In 2012, the central banks of various countries bought almost 15 million troy ounces of gold. Against other distinguished Russian Central Bank and the People's Bank of China. The agency «Bloomberg» Russia's called "the main gold buyers decade." The reason for interest in gold in Russia and China overall, analysts' Finmarket ": the decline or even collapse of the dollar preordained, and the gold will not allow huge reserves of regulators impaired.
In fact, Russia is turning its "black gold" in the usual: Bank of Russia for 10 years, has bought 570 tons of gold. If we assume that the troy ounce is worth $ 165, the purchase price is approximately $ 30 billion.
Jeff Clark of «Casey Research» believes that the first - yet the People's Bank of China, which buys more gold, but nobody talks about it. According to official estimates, the NSC today owns 1,054 tons of gold.
There is a growing gold reserves in Turkey, Brazil and other countries. And is not that important, you see, who in the gold race first. Important trend.
Analysts' Finmarket "answered the question of why central banks are" desperate "are buying the yellow metal. Russian officials have openly declared that gold will ensure the sovereignty of the country, if something were to happen to the dollar or the euro. A comrade Hu Jintao, former head of China, said that the current world monetary system is a "product of the past."
V. The latest news coming from «Bank of Cyprus» - the largest of the former Bank of Cyprus, which is now the new face of gloomy faltering eurozone economy - suggest the completion of the exchange where the shares of the deposits. As planned, the brunt of assumed contributions in excess of one hundred thousand euros.
Exchange for shares in the bank are subject only to deposits that exceeded the sum of March 26 to 100,000 euros, including accrued interest. From the amount of contributions that are subject to "haircuts" are excluded loans and other credit obligations. The remaining funds are defined as "the amount of the excess."
With a registered capital of 37.5% translated "excess amount", their bankers are converted into shares of Class "A" on the nominal value of 1 euro and defined as "the amount of the down payment from the deposits." Was temporarily blocked 22.5% of the "excess amount" of deposits. In case of full or partial conversion of shares of Class "A", they will be identified as "additional amount of the contribution from the deposits." Another 30% "excess" amount, reports RIA "Novosti" temporarily frozen.
The Cypriot script, which insisted the powerful, tested in the euro zone crisis is no accident. The fact is that when the already huge bureaucracy country in Europe has grown and matured additional class European bureaucrats who want to manage, but not responsible for the management. The first process is to reach the top opens up incredible opportunities officer at the level of Europe and even the world, but the second one promises inconvenience and trouble. Therefore, it was decided to exclude from the scope of activities. And the crisis was a good reason for that.
"Anti-crisis measures" (they expropriation) of the Cypriot sample - a convenient way to provide anything and everything the market (think of Adam Smith). Weight officials who previously generously handing out loans, financial assistance, suddenly launched a course of 180 degrees, and retired to the "night watchman." Now the task is forwarded to escape by drowning. However, lifeguards, snuggle under umbrellas on the beaches continue to receive salaries. That Adam Smith would not have understood.
Method of solving the Cyprus banking problems in Europe, European officials have decided to extend to the entire banking system of the European Union. Prior to writing off losses of deposits banks must be covered by shareholders and bondholders, and not from the state budget. Against this, however, serve France and Italy, but the latter with its outstanding crisis no one would listen, and France alone can not do anything about it. (In general Hollande badly with the popularity - that abroad that at home).
Large depositors may suffer losses only after the cancellation of the shareholders and bondholders. In the future, troubled banks must first take care of its recapitalization, then turn to the shareholders and bondholders, and then - to investors.
Among the proposals the European Commission are also sold to the cancellation of the inter-bank deposits, open for up to a month.
The plan may take effect from 2018. My God, but by this time the EU can no longer be ...
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei SA recently said the channel "Press TV", that the capitalist economy was not effective: talk to the economic situation in the U.S. and Europe. "Current developments in Europe and the United States - is just the beginning, the conditions will be much worse, as the capitalist economy is moving in the collapse." Ayatollah also said that the existing economic, ethical and cultural issues in the West contribute to the decline of Western civilization.
It should be noted that the base to the Ayatollah was a comrade.
VI. While in Kyrgyzstan decide castration of pedophiles (members of Parliament in the second reading passed a bill that introduces chemical castration for pedophiles) in the Netherlands registered political party, to defend the rights and freedoms of the most pedophiles. The party is called, among other things, as follows: "Charity, Freedom and Diversity".
She intends to fight for the lowering of the age at which you can have sex with 16 to 12 years, and for the legalization of sex with animals (bestiality), and child pornography. The Party demands the legalization of all drugs at the same time and the universal right to free travel on trains.
Political pedophiles are going to "wake from sleep Hague": that is, to overcome social taboos and fight intolerance. They intend to save pedophilia from a negative image in the community by becoming members of parliament.
VII. Regarding the bad policies of neo-colonialism (it is about the West, rather than the difficult French effort to make a new colony gold in Mali) spoke very significant Antonio Estella, a law professor at the University of Madrid King Charles III, specializing in European legislation and plays for the country's withdrawal from the monetary union. This fellow writes: "In reality, we are in even worse conditions of the dictatorship of the Portuguese or Spanish from forty years ago. But today's dictatorship is much more subtle, almost invisible. And it does not represent any organization or any individual, a symbol: the euro. "
Analyst Ivan Rogozhkin calls this "invisible" evrokolonialny option like this: the neo-neo-colonialism.
VIII. On the transformation of so-called Western democracy in a straight dictatorship spoke expert IA «REX», a writer from the United States, Michael Dorfman - in the article "How to democracy degenerated into a dictatorship." Quote:
"On the streets of Western cities not rattled boots Nazis, there was no communist coup. However, over the last 30-40 years, Western liberal democracy in the developed countries of the so-called First World quietly slipped into a state of the police state, extrajudicial rendition, deadly drones, drone attacks, secret prisons, institutionalized torture, stifling regimes national economy, outsourcing and privatization of public services , commercialization policy. Peaceful protests are dispersed systematically against demonstrators regularly used tear gas, stun guns, and sometimes shoot people. Mass surveillance of political dissidents, and in general all citizens, has become the norm. In the corporate world and did totalitarianism reigns, only Fuhrer called business leaders, teamwork - team-work, and achievement-oriented - these are the same figures of the socialist achievements of Stalin's five-year plans. "
How do you like this post-modern virtuoso substitution of concepts in the capitalist world business leaders - the Fuehrer?
Publicist Cyril Myamlin about rightly observes: "... Defending human rights has degenerated into a settling: Minority interests - against the legitimate rights of the majority; greed of the exploiters - against the rights of the exploited. Protection of competition has degenerated into a tyranny of monopolies and protection of the suppression of competitors under the guise of "free trade", the protection of freedom of speech - in only his freedom of speech (up to censorship and banning words opponents under the cover of accusations of "extremism"). Protection of the political rights of the people transformed into the protection of U.S. and global interests of the Israeli state and a strong belief that the legitimacy of the government in any country does not give its own people, but only the U.S. administration ... "
IX. All have heard about the recent special statement of the Ambassador of the Czech Republic in the United States Gandalovič Ivan, who had to go to the American citizens to the Czech Republic is not to be confused with Chechnya. Such a statement Czech diplomats prepared after the U.S. segments, "Twitter" and "Facebook's" flooded with messages from angry Americans who accuse the Czech Republic in involvement in the bombings at the Boston Marathon. "The Czech Republic is a country in Central Europe and Chechnya within the Russian Federation", - explained the inhabitants of "Twitter" a diplomatic document.
Earlier, there were publications excerpts of the messages the American people «Twitter», who confuse the Czech Republic and Chechnya:
"In the Czech Republic, good beer, beautiful women and the men who murdered athletes," - wrote one user. "Father of the day a friend sent out SMS, so that none of them had traveled to Czechoslovakia," - says another. "The two terrorists came from the Czech Republic. By the way, where is it at all? "- Asks the third. Czech journalists who viewed posts of Americans «Twitter» about the terrorist attack in Boston, and found this: "Damn the Czech Republic! I believe that now we bombed out of her! "
In addition to the Czech Republic and Chechnya, the Americans occasionally confused with the State of Georgia, Georgia. First there was a lot of confusion at all in 2008, and another in early October 2006. Several popular quotes of the day:
"What do the Russian army in Atlanta?"
"I want answers, dammit."
"Russian - out of the United States."
"It's really terrible, God willing, they will leave."
"So that means dzhordzhintsy sold commies? Let us inflict on them a nuclear strike. "
But what about ordinary Americans, if Harvard slowpoke Obama in the United States totaled fifty seven states and stated that the car invented in the U.S.? However, Bush Jr., another Harvard graduate, rubbed his pants in the White House for eight years, was thinking worse. 43rd President of the United States, and previously the governor of Texas, known for its unhealthy addiction to death in the electric chair and tortured by drowning, believed that Afghanistan and Iraq - is in Africa, Australia confused with Austria, Slovakia with Slovenia, and APEC with OPEC. This Mr. unlearn at the Business School of Harvard University, and Obama graduated from the same law school.
In February this year, about 60 students at Harvard University were expelled after the scandal of massive cheating during exams. About the same number of students suffered "other punishments." Curiously, there has been cheating in the exam on the basis of listening to the course "Fundamentals of the Congress." This course is considered to be one of the easiest.
X. Western civilization did not finish off times above the "Twitter."
In the latest issue of the "Weekly Standard" there was a huge and very interesting article Matt Labasha under the heading "Tvidiokratiya." The word rendered in the name of the very capacious: here you and the remains of "democracy" and "idiocy", and a mixture of the latter with the "Twitter" (tvidiotizm, more simply, as the inhabitants of this network the author calls "tvidiotami").
Comrade Labash at the beginning of this article scares readers that says something about "the unthinkable, heretical." And suddenly declares that they, the readers, never went out and brought him to "tweet."
You can try if you want, he says. But, unlike Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, the Pope, the Dalai Lama and the Church of England (which invited users «Twitter», to help choose the next Archbishop of Canterbury), it Labasha, there can not find. The reason for this is simple: it's not there, and how he hopes never will be.
He writes, "hopes", because «Twidiocracy» penetrates into every crevice of society - and the trend may not leave the choice of the journalist. Future fixated on "Twitter", is the author of the West is extremely grim.
With melancholy and nostalgia journalist recalls those glorious days when people used to live a normal life, and not a combination of a digital body with a luminous screen. Do you still remember the time, he says, when social mediazarazy FacebookTwitterPinterestInstagram did not get all wonder how we talk to each other. Oh, it was a time when the phone is considered as a communication device, not as an extra limb.
Comrade Labash right despises those who use "Twitter". He despises this "inevitable microblogging service," which pushes people out to accommodate the idea of a maximum of one hundred forty characters. And «Twidiocracy» insists that it is necessary to love it for that.
The author hates "Twitter" for his self-righteousness, for what tehnotriumfatory declare anyone who did not join them, outcasts, residents of some desert island.
The journalist hated the fact that «Twitter» converts written words into abbreviations and characters in these "staccato" emptiness. "Tvidioty" squeeze themselves up to 140 characters! People with the expression of the author writes, used to write more wisely than they say. Now it is terribly done what most inclined to talk more intelligently than "tweet."
«Twitter» often makes great writer, a good writer - bad, says the author. This is the format that even professionals can bring to the pathetic level of mediocrity.
Comrade Labash bitterly hates the fact that «Twitter» turns people into brand managers who create brands out of themselves. He hates the fact that «Twitter» making private public. Just think of the conversations between the two close friends, first occurring alone or by e-mail, make the dialogue, produced for the sake of ... "followers"!
According to the article, "Twitter" will soon no stone unturned leave from former strong society.
This network - like a drug, which quickly get used to. It distorts perception. It excludes in-depth look at things.
"Twitter" is full of fakes, threats, fictional "news", hoaxes, abuse, forgery of "followers". Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich - have all been accused of inflating the number of "followers". Almost 70% of the "followers" Obama does not really exist. "Al-Qaeda" and "Taliban" too long mastered «Twitter».
If you think that social media does not make you sick, remember that the tobacco companies hired by "scholars" claim that smoking increases lung capacity.
Youth throws having sex when a message arrives from the network!
A study conducted in the state of Michigan, revealed that excessive consumption of media products can lead to the appearance of symptoms associated with depression and anxiety. A scientist from the University of Oxford said that «Facebook» and «Twitter» lead to narcissism and the "identity crisis" of users. In the UK, the same fear that their children are becoming addicted to social networking. A recent study «Retrevo» showed that 28 percent of iPhone users check updates «Twitter», before you get out of bed, and the other 48 percent do the same thing after you go to sleep. University of Chicago study proved that "tweets" can generate more addictive than cigarettes and alcohol.
Mike Allen of the newspaper «Politico» in his review notes that Matt Labash, in his article about a hundred and forty characters to tell the world about the collapse of Western civilization.
***
Thus, the amount of The End of Western Civilization are now ten terms. No, we have not come up with them, they were called the residents of the West.

Weapons that selects America
One of the most armed country in the world is the United States of America. And
in this case it is not just about good equipment of the armed forces:
315 million Americans account for nearly 270 million barrels of
firearms. Thus, in numbers and popularity weapons far ahead even cars, because it owns nearly 90 people out of a hundred.
Initially you need to note the fact that the weapon has always been one of the most important elements of the U.S. economy. This fact was once again confirmed at the beginning of this year, when it was determined that the development of weapons case, the Government has sent nearly $ 50 million.
Despite the fact that the sale of firearms in the United States are regulated, control of different severity and her own characteristics in each state. In fact, every American citizen who has reached the age of majority, has no criminal record, legal problems and mental illness, can completely free to buy a gun. Exists in the country and so-called special category to which the automatic weapons. However, in order to acquire it, in addition to a license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, to pay a tax of $ 200 and be fingerprinted. But there is one "but" you can buy only those samples of automatic weapons that were manufactured before 1986.
The greatest demand among Americans are pistols and revolvers. In this type of weapon has almost 58 percent of the population. In this case, call the clear leader among samples of handguns is very difficult because the high demand and popularity of several models, including the Ruger LCP, Colt M1911, Glock and Smith & Wesson.
The most advanced of these models is the Ruger LCP - Light supercompact nine-gun, which is designed for concealed carry. In mass production, he appeared in 2008. This model has many advantages: it designs applied polymers, which greatly affects the weight (the gun weighs only 270 grams). Length of the model is only 13 inches. Despite such a small size, the gun is powerful enough due to the high muzzle velocity. In addition, it can be easily placed in a purse or in a holster on his leg. Shop is 6 rounds. Ruger LCP pistol by popularity bypasses even the famous Colt.
Colt M1911 pistol was established in 1911 in America. Prior to his arrival in the country self-loading pistols are already very popular, but they are not very powerful. The army continued to use guns, which are not particularly rate and accuracy of fire. Therefore, it was a competition for the creation of a new self-loading pistol, which was attended by two companies - Savage and Colt. After lengthy testing for service of the U.S. armed forces adopted a pistol designed by John Browning - Colt M1911. Since 1913, the model began to be delivered to the Marines and the Navy. Soon pistol design has become a classic and has been used in many models. By the way, Colt M1911 pistols used in tsarist Russia, in case gendarmerie and police. As they entered the country through the United Kingdom, with the marking "English Order" on the left side of the frame.
Now Colt M1911 pistol is the standard weapon of the U.S. military. In addition, they continue to use the security forces, particularly the police and the FBI. Number of total guns of this model is about 2.7 million barrels.
One of the world's best recognized pistols Glock, which quickly gained popularity in the U.S. market. In 1988, specifically for the civilian market, as well as various special services released a compact variant of the Glock 17 - Glock 19, which has become no less popular not only the police but also the civilian population, who planned to use it for concealed carry and self-defense or sport shooting. From its predecessor, this model has a shorter barrel, equal to 10 centimeters, and the handle, which holds 15 rounds in the magazine. Despite its small size, the gun has a high combat and operational characteristics: firepower, reliability, ease of carry, easy to use.
To date, Glock 19 pistol is armed police, special forces and the armies of many countries, in particular the Hong Kong Police, a rapid response team of French Gendarmerie, the Israeli General Security Service. However, the most widespread, the model was on the civilian market, because this gun is recognized by many experts as the best weapon for self-defense.
The oldest of all the most popular models of handguns is a revolver Smith & Wesson. Its production started in 1899. Despite this, it is produced in various versions until now. This gun is one of the most numerous, and the number of models produced at the present time is reached almost 9 million specimens. Gun itself is one of the most accurate and reliable in the shooting. Danae model always in great demand on the civilian market, and athletes-shooters. The revolver has a classic design with folding drum for six rounds, made of steel with weapons blueing. In 1941, Smith Veson company started production of revolvers for police. This model was named the "Military and Police model." Supply such guns in the military. When in 1957-1958 the company instead of verbal designations began using numbers, this model was called Smith & Wesson Model 10, which is produced in our time.
For a long period of time, this model was in service of the American police. Its further development has been the emergence of models 14 and 15. Concealed carry is the most suitable model 10, since it lacks protruding rib. In the ranking of the most popular models of handguns Americans revolver Smith & Wesson is in the second position after the Colt 1911 pistol.
If guns are usually designed for concealed carry, which can be carried through the streets or carry in the glove compartment car, a gun is used in most cases to protect your home or for hunting.
The greatest stopping power of the available American population possess weapons shotguns. Among these weapons undisputed leader recognized Remington 870 shotgun, which was presented in 1950. This pump-action shotgun, which was originally produced as a universal gun for hunting. This shotgun was produced and released to date in the various versions. In the 1970s, Army rifle modification was adopted by the U.S. Army. This model had a shop in seven rounds, hand guards and a special protective matte finish.
In addition, the shotgun is in great demand among police officers. For them, a model was developed that allows to shoot bullets and buckshot, and special ammunition, including rubber bullets and traumatic gas grenades.
Depending on the caliber and model of gun magazine capacity can range from three to eight rounds. Since the introduction to the present time by Remington has sold more than ten million shotguns. In 2009, Remington 870 shotgun was considered the most successful model in the company's history.
For those who like hunting, pump action rifles are not enough. They need a high destructive power at a distance. Hunters are popular guns Thompson / Center Arms Encore 209x.50 Magnum. They are charged with the breech. Barrel length of only 66 centimeters, with an initial velocity of the bullet is 671 meters per second. The advantage of this model is the ability to equip its optical sighting devices, and high enough lethal range, which is 180 meters. But it should be noted that this gun is quite expensive.
Very interesting is the fact that the most popular long-barreled weapons in the United States last year, according to sales, is the rifle Mosin 1891/30. She appeared in 1891 in Russia. It was a trilinear rifle, which was developed and a cartridge of 7.62 mm. In those years, it was decided to adopt three options, in other, not much different from each other: Infantry, Dragoon and Cossack. Series production began in the years 1893-1894 in Izhevsk and Tula. However, during the First World War, in view of the fact that Russian industry could not cope with the production rifles had to order in America. After 1917, a large number of rifles and remained in the U.S.. They were sold on the civilian market, or used in the army to train soldiers shooting. The American model is different from the Russian, except for labeling and more material lodges - was used instead of the birch walnut stock. Mosin rifle repeatedly subjected to modernization. In addition, the model was developed sniper rifle that was used during the Second World War.
Despite the fact that this model of weapon was far from ideal, with its functions as it copes well: it was easy and straightforward to use, even maloobuchennymi soldiers, cheap to produce, are reliable and durable, has good ballistic qualities. Its firing range is about two miles.
At present, despite the fact that the production of the Mosin rifle was taken back in 1965, on the internet it is quite easy and simple to buy for a small amount.
In addition to pistols and rifles considerable demand in the U.S. and are semi-automatic rifles and carbines. Such weapons are very ambiguous. By and large, from automatic versions it differs only in the volume and rate of the store. In the mid-90s in some U.S. states there was a ban on the sale of semi-automatic rifles, shop equipment with more than 10 bullets. Despite this, with a strong desire can be purchased, and it is legitimate, store larger capacity, if it was produced before the ban.
Carbines and assault rifles have a large range of fire and slaughter, so they are better than other types of weapons suitable for shooting in shooting galleries or for hunting, but not for self-defense, because of its low stopping power.
Among all assault weapons represented the U.S. arms market, leadership belongs rifle AR15. This is a self-loading rifle, which is produced since 1963. In the sale, it comes as a civilian weapon for self defense. In addition, she is a staff weapon police departments.
The rifle is the development of ArmaLite. Initially it was assumed that it will be a promising assault rifle for the U.S. Army. However, in 1959 due to financial difficulties encountered, the company sold the rights to the design of Colt. As a result, in the early 60's AR15 rifle entered by the army under the name M16. Under the brand represented AR15 semiautomatic model, which is produced for the civilian market.
Currently engaged in the production of rifles, several companies, including ArmaLite, Bushmaster and Colt. The rifle is made for the standard NATO 5.56 mm cartridge, sighting range is about half a kilometer, e, and the initial velocity - 975 feet per second.
The second position in the ranking of semiautomatic assault weapons popularity among the American population took up various Kalashnikov. They are engaged in the production of many countries, particularly Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, China, Poland, Romania, North Korea, Yugoslavia, Israel, Finland, Czech Republic, Sweden, India, and, of course, the United States of America. Incidentally, the original - the Kalashnikov - has become the most popular gun in the world, and also the most common. The total number sold Kalashnikovs and its copies around the world is about 100 million barrels.
However, soon the Americans love to all kinds of weapons can meet great obstacles of the law. After numerous tragedies that occur more and more often in American schools, the government would give serious consideration to tighten the rules for firearms in the country. In particular, it is the introduction of additional checks on the acquisition of handguns, rifles and shotguns, as well as the ban on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity store. All these measures are contained in the President's program, consisting of 19 points.
Obama himself is confident that his program will vehement opposition Congress, because the right to bear arms is enshrined in the Constitution. If this happens, the president will be forced to deal with violence in America through direct orders.
There is also the danger that the bans do not work simply because the citizens do not want to voluntarily hand over their existing weapons, and any attempt to force them to do so can cause this rebellion. On top of that the Americans expecting a quick tightening of legislation, and began buying weapons and ammunition. So, now in civilian weapons, even more than before.
America unarmed inconceivable. But the consequences of such a love for weapons ...
