Brussels is full of spies

The classic espionage is not retired despite the end of the Cold War and the enormous possibilities of the new technology.

With the end of the Cold War and retirement Le Kareo Smiley seemed to be a classic forever spies retired and we still see them in the movies, read about their missions in novels or newspapers "as they used to" articles. Leaving a piece of paper under a rock, micro-films in hollow bricks, written plans and sewn in invisible ink to put winter coats - all seems so quaint and surreal in a time of technological advances that allow everyone who wishes to observe and uncalled listen in.

After all, the nude photos of the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton are all taken from a distance of a kilometer and 300 meters with equipment worth about $ 20,000, which has any better equipped newsrooms. What you then have the possibility to have a spy organization with the sole purpose of finding out the secret of becoming "the enemy"?

How far, in time of modern diplomacy and "reset" relationship once the great powers, "employees" and espionage organization?

Judging by the statements of Alan Vinantsa, the first Belgian man counterintelligence (VSSE), spies have never been more alive than in its activities today. Only in Brussels there, he said, "not ten, not a hundred, but hundreds from all over the world." Brussels is the center not only by the EU and NATO administration, but also a place that gathers the most representative samples of cream and secret agencies of our time. For each "real spy", the guard of Belgium is the same as for the kids candy store, where simply has to be. 

Everything is like in the days of the Cold War when the international espionage - said the Vinants. - Brussels is a place with many diplomats, businessmen, international institutions with a large number of employees who are in contact with the political, economic or industry secrets.Russia, China, Iran, Vinants claims, but "friendly countries to the EU," such as Israel or the United States, have their agents in Brussels.- It would be naive to think that only some of the country's spy, and the rest just watch what happens - says the head of Belgium's espionage. - In this work, the difference between neutral, friendly and hostile agency disappears because everybody wants to get their hands on economic and scientific projects on the other. Virtually every secret service is in constant battle with his colleagues from the other camp.Spies are most commonly present themselves as diplomats, journalists, lobbyists, business people or students. And their targets are, just as in the past - people are greedy, they are in financial trouble, or with radical political ideas. Simply, people with "dark sides of personality", ideal for blackmail. Or, those who want to be as "Bond, James Bond."Recruitment is just like before - personal contacts, joint tours, receptions at embassies ... Some burn, some do not.- I stopped going to lunch with him because he was always something Interrogative, and he never said anything about himself - told the website, "EU Observer" one EU official, who apparently was on the list of suitable treatment.Regardless of the fact that in Brussels the agents of all kinds buzzing like a beehive, Vinants says that in the last six years, there was only one great example of international espionage - the case of Herman Sima, the Estonian defense ministry official in charge of the exchange of classified information with NATO and the EU. He was arrested in 2009. as a Russian spy. Sim's 3294 Moscow handed secret documents, of which 386 are related to the communications and defense systems of NATO and the EU. His relationship to man was a Russian intelligence officer who posed as a businessman from Portugal. Worthy of Le Carre.Sim is now in prison in Estonia. At the hearing, said that the Russians had only paid 1,200 euros a month, but he has promised to become an officer of high rank and salary.Experts say the modern espionage that has long ceased to recruit on the basis of ideology. Money or some other form of financial security today are the only bait.

"Domestic" espionage

Some differences in espionage in Brussels still exist. Thus, circulating among the local professionals claim that "spies from Iran not a spy on others, but their own ambassadors."  

What to do with the millions of tons of waste

The Soviets did not care about pollution of the Arctic Ocean, but today was something needed to be done.

Russian environmentalists, and other media are included alarm: coastal zone of the Arctic Ocean is full of different waste that must be cleaned as soon as possible to prevent a disaster. On the islands and the coast there are about three million barrels of oil and a variety of oils. There barrels are transported from the Soviets decades ago because of the ambitious plan to enter the North. The Kremlin then thought only of records, and the pollution of nature are not worried.

Today Russia's Arctic coast is one of the most polluted territories in the world. Of course, if you do not compare with the new country by the USSR into a nuclear testing ground and cemetery of radioactive material. Contaminated by the nuclear testing ground "Semipalatinsk" in Kazakhstan, where the Soviets performed numerous experiments. It is poor consolation that neither the American polygons are not better.

On the Russian coast of the Arctic Ocean located about four million tons of industrial and other waste materials. In Russian north has left about 20,000 units of different techniques.

During Yeltsin's "democracy-hungry" and theft, the environmental problems discussed are purely academic. Only recently did the Russian government pilot projects to clean and revive the Arctic. On Earth, Franz Joseph began cleaning the territory. This summer he appeared difficult technique and workers. That there once lived and worked as people witnessed dozens of buildings in decay.
In the metal barrels of 200 liters of oil. There are barrels made 1942nd in Germany. The war with ecologist barrels will not be easy. For those who have long been taught geography to say that Franz Joseph Land archipelago of 192 islands in the Arctic Ocean, Russia's Arkhangelsk area above.
This summer, a month workers calender 18,800 barrels. The cleaning program is the Arctic by 2020. years, but environmentalists say it would be good to be realized in three to five years, because the long-term corrosion will increase the pollution of nature.
Graham White on the island of waste is three times more. There will environmentalists and workers start to clean the 2013th year.
What threatens the Arctic region?
Countries in the region have sovereignty over the islands and the continental coast. Of a current battle for the Arctic is motivated by the knowledge that the geologists in the region is about 25 percent of global supplies of oil and gas, of which half in the Russian zone. In Russia it says more about the feasibility of northern sea transport routes over Siberia. Decades the northern waterway was transported from 23 to 25 million tons per year. The story has become interesting again, because China is interested in that route for transporting goods to Europe.
Environmentalists fear that the breakdown of the oil drilling platforms in the northern areas could be disastrous. Stop oil in such conditions it would be very difficult. Environmentalists argue that destroyed every living thing within a radius of one thousand kilometers.
Economists have their arguments as to why one should not touch that part of nature. Increase oil production by 20 to 25 percent would result in prices on the world market. It aims to benefit customers, but cheaper black gold would certainly not happy that the oil companies, especially the ones that are supposed to invest billions of dollars to create new technologies to be able to exploit oil and gas in extremely difficult conditions north. Greatest losses would have the oil companies of Russia, Canada, the U.S. and Norway.
Because of this delay the project "Shtokman" one of the largest gas deposits in the world is pleased environmentalists and even "Gazprom" is not sad.  

Technological innovation has changed the destiny of man

As the technological innovation in the last 100 years has changed the destiny of modern man. We live longer and more comfortable, but crucial questions remain unanswered.

Readers American online newspaper "The Huffington Post" recently in the online poll agreed that it was this same web of all the technological advances in the past century has brought the biggest changes in their lives. The second biggest innovation, which has enabled the first and, for them, is a transistor. In third place were commercial flights, TV on the fourth, and only after that - the genetic map of the human body. Birth control pills, pen and SAT are still found in front of so many used mobile phones by just over two percent of voters ranked the highest among the findings of the century.

Recollection of the technological advances of the last century, you might get a different order in some other parts of the world, but the majority of mankind would certainly agreed that it is difficult to imagine a time when not on the "Google" find the answers to your questions, hung over "Face" or mobile perpetuate important moments. Even those aging who remember the time without any of the ordinary household appliances today can hardly imagine life without vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators, even without the remote control, and microwave ovens are following us since the fifties ... The more technological innovation accelerated in recent decades it seems to be less and less willing to give up either of them.

Another question is how technological breakthroughs affect on humanity. Only if you look at the last decade, there has been that much innovation that improve people's lives, as did the more confused everyday life - communicating, relationships and thinking of modern man.

At the beginning of this millennium, when the U.S. Zhi-pi-es signals made ​​available to the public, the White House announced that everyone will be able to locate where you want it 10 times more accurately than before. This achievement paved the way for many other to be installed in mobile or smartphone. Tracking the movement of children, spouse, employees ... became available to everyone, but not always desirable.

Straight storm was the 2000th The proclamation of AT & T in the United States to appear text messages on mobile phones. June 2000. users have sent 12.2 million text messages per month, ten years later, that figure had jumped to 135.2 billion messages each month. Three years later he began the birth of social networks - "Frendster", "Facebook", "Twitter". Way of communicating, socializing and pursuing civil action was changed at the same time opening a new chapter in the history of alienation. 

The so-called Twitter revolution Arab world indicate the directions in which social movements could reach large global motion. Birth of the new (in) stability?
Scientists have discovered a planet outside our solar system, astronomers can identify out-solar planets by measuring gravitational effect on the stars, but the origin of the earth they are reduced to a range of theories.
Michael Brunet found the oldest human fossil in the African country of Chad. Fragments of six to seven million years old skull suggests the length of human evolution. The discovery that man has approximately 20,000 to 25,000 genes yielded a picture of genetic maps, throwing new light on diseases, new sources of energy, and many other scientific fields. Ian Vilmut added to his name the title "Sir" when he cloned the first human, sheep Dolly. The secret of life, however, is still not detected.
January 2001. it launched the first Internet encyclopedia "Wikipedia", and Larry Page and Sergey Brin are the invention of "Google" which is from 2004. became available to everyone, made a revolution in access to information. According to data from the research center, "Pew" in 2008. The half of all Internet users use this tool. The introduction of video games 2006th year not only brought a new dimension to many childhood education has helped. The company "Apple" has just been named the most valuable in history thanks to inventions such as the Ipod, Iphon or facilitating access to content from games, stock market, checking the data to find restrooms. But if the world has become enlightened, better? There is no evidence for it.
At this stage of development it is very likely that even in poverty, war and disease in sub-Saharan Africa's development indicators show positive impacts of the development of science on people's lives. The average life expectancy has increased, in the period between the 1960th and 1994, for a decade, from 39.9 to 49.9 years. Child mortality has decreased in the same period by 40 percent. Percentage of people with access to safe water has almost doubled over the past decade, GDP per capita rose. The development of computers has enabled spectacular progress in many aspects of society. The development of genetic engineering and biotechnology is the most revolutionary achievements of recent decades.
At the same time, science and ethics are connected more than ever before, opening questions the essence of life and existence, the impact of technological development in general satisfaction and well-being, or how "reduced" the world makes connections and humanity, and the world more peaceful and safer place to live. Most of the questions remain unanswered, some, such as the possibility of using nuclear weapons, create a feeling of unease.

Popularity for everyone

The emergence of "YouTube" in 2005. The many anonymous citizens turned it into a global star. This, as well as other social networks that have made ordinary people around the world, with a cheap camera, become influential.  

Treats for wantonly rich

World contrasts, hungry or satiated not believe: the poor do not have to bread, cake serving in New York from 18,700 dollars. The most expensive 800 euros tiny cookies, hamburger less than 300.

Yes, the food is more expensive, but some people just do not care for it. These are the ones that have a good business, own mafia organization, we are lode the lottery, or are already at birth, happily drawn from the drum. They do not have the appetite while looking after the tripe in sauce yellow menu: instead, you shall request "extravagant burger" from the Japanese "wagyu" beef. I'll think they got through ...

And maybe it really so, since that piece of meat in a New York restaurant "Serendipity 3" costs "only" 293 dollars. And for lunch, I could soup in London, as already practiced by many wealthy to "plunge" between the two cities and several times a week.

The magic fluid in the London café "Kai Mayfair" is called "Buddha jumps over the wall." Ingredients: shark tails, sea snails, mushrooms "Japanese flower", sea cucumber, dried clams, chicken, cooked ham from the Chinese province of Hunan, pork and ginseng. Price: 108 pounds.

All that you recommended Bi-Bi-lightening section for travel. And, far from being expensive entree to break down some of the "slum" dry walnut cookies or pies. A quick trip to the Middle East, there are good tufahije, and dessert for the local CSD 3676, approximately 800 euros. These are the most expensive small cookies in the world, and make them edible leaves of 23-carat gold, pretty gold dust and organic strawberries. They are called "Golden Phoenix", and must be ordered two days in advance.

During this time, the rich in Dubai does not have to sit hungry and thirsty - to address this second sense, until recently, they were able to stop by the famous hotel "Burj al Arab" and try his cocktail "27,321". Named after saucy dinar amount you are looking for this type of beverage. That is, namely, 7.400 dollars. The compound is a 55 year old whiskey from the homeland of world miser - Scotland. Although the six months came down at ten spendthrift "27,321" from 18-carat cup, the hotel has stopped offering it to guests.

Yet the center of the world (and high prices) continue in the West on its trans-axle. In the aforementioned New York restaurant "Serendipity 3" serve the most expensive dessert in the world, a frozen chocolate treat of 18,713 dollars. It has 28 different types of cocoa, and 5 grams of edible 23-karat gold and gold flakes. Served with edible gold leaves is a diamond bracelet. Eating a golden spoon, decorated with diamonds in three colors.
 

Flying cars

Price $ 300,000, Americans by "driver" asking flight training. "Transition" concluded wings and so turns in a street car, PAL is more like a helicopter and on the street turns into a tricycle.

Seen before only in Hollywood science fiction movies, flying cars may soon become part of our everyday life. The experts at research centers say that this year we would be able to witness, and some people, flying first four-wheeler.

A vehicle that has successfully survived the first tests of the year, ready for sale. The price will be around $ 300,000, and will first appear on the market this year. Since the owner of the car will have to have 20 hours of flight training before they soar the skies time.

"Transition" Company "Terrafugia" aircraft that enters the leaf and so turns in a street car. After takeoff, can a tank of fuel to fly about 740 kilometers, carrying two people and luggage, and only later transformed into ground car.


Another type of flying car, known as PAL, is more like a helicopter than a plane. Developed by the Dutch company, the car has a propeller at the rear, which gives the acceleration and keeps it in the air. At home, he works as a tricycle. According to the characteristics and prices similar to "Transition".

In parallel with this project, is developing a more comprehensive and relating solely to the future in flying cars. At these private aircraft's that would completely replace the earthly auto traffic, but it is within the "Mycopter", with financial support from the EU.

Price and operate these vehicles the future seems, however, a minor problem compared to the issues that the mass use of flying cars opened. Questions and no small concern to the heavenly roads, provision of collisions, control drunk driver ...

For now, "Transition" has an experimental license to move to the U.S., where there are the best conditions to test the airport's 5,000 public and private catwalk so much more. Although "Transition" fits into a regular garage and has a fuel capacity of 87 liters, it is 520 meters to run to soar into the air.

Hitler's commander killed Nikola Tesla?

Skorcini Otto, commander of Hitler's special purpose units in his autobiography says that the bag suffocated great genius in his hotel room on Christmas 1943rd year.

In the night of 15 July 1903rd years, Tesla was his inventions "burned" the skies over New York, a glow and spilled over the vast expanses of the Atlantic Ocean. It was only a prelude to what would probably followed that Tesla was not interrupted with experiments.

It's about this. The voltage difference between the ionosphere and the earth's surface is about two million volts. Tesla's idea was to use the difference to generate electricity and use for practical purposes. The sending of various coordinated (harmonic) oscillations, Tesla towers could come in interaction with long-wave frequency of the ionosphere and so empty, as empty ordinary electrical capacitors. It is fortunate that Tesla first came to these findings and to prepare people to protect themselves. Namely, if the discharge is made ​​to randomly there could be horrific consequences that vividly describe Dr. Velimir Abramovic:

- From the ionosphere at once came down to the high energy plasma column of large diameter, and perhaps a few hundred kilometers and all of that area would be destroyed, burned down in a way that is described in the biblical legends ruin of Sodom and Gomorrah.

However, Tesla did not rule out the possibility that the experiments continue when the time comes and it says:

"My project was delayed by natural laws. The world for him was not yet ready. He was too ahead of time in which it originated. But these same laws of nature will eventually prevail and the project will be repeated along with winning success. "

Tesla, who, lonely and misunderstood, the last twenty years of his life working on the theories and projects that were far ahead of time in which he lived.

"Philadelphia Experiment"

According to Dr. Abramovich, the U.S. Army was interested in some of these theories and they were ready to test their practical value of the project. One of them is the "Rainbow Project", also known as the "Philadelphia Experiment". It can be related to Tesla's hints that it is through the electromagnetic field is moving in time and space.Svrha project was to make the ships "invisible" to radar observations.

What is Tesla's role in this "project invisibility"?

At Princeton University in 1933. The education "Institute for Advanced Studies," in which leading scientists were Albert Einstein and John von Neumann. When in 1936. The "Project Invisibility" was transferred to Princeton University, Tesla was named director of the group that worked on it. To 1940. years, were carried out successful tests on small vessels in the military Brooklyn shipyard. This created conditions for the experiment carried out with the destroyer "Eldrič DE-173". However, during the development program there have been serious disagreements between Tesla and Von Neumann. The Tesla was aware of possible danger health and life, was against the presence of the crew on board during the experiment. On this occasion there was in March 1942. The bickering continued with von Neumann, after which it withdrew from the project Tesla invisibility. Ten months after that, Tesla died on Orthodox Christmas, 7 January 1943.  

SKORCINIJEVA CLAIMS

As a young associate, Al Bielek has participated in "Project Invisibility". He claims that Tesla murdered "because he knew a lot." The murder was linked to Hitler's most capable commander, and special purpose units, Oto Skorcini. Among others he organized the arrest of Horti in Hungary and successful rescue of Mussolini in Italy.

After the war he was allowed to stay undisturbed in Franco's Spain. In his recollections Skorcini writes that he personally killed Nikola Tesla, suffocate with bag. This dubious claim, corroborated the story of the Nazis had made several submarine unloaded and came to America.

Yet the prevailing opinion that Tesla died of natural causes on which the doctor says Abramovic:

- The Tesla's death was a kind of celebration of his personal and more resembled a soul conscious move to another plane of existence, but the death of a famous man of ordinary, confused and frightened before emancipation. For two days before moving moment of the soul, Tesla has stopped working and closed the hotel room, asking that no one interferes. When the director of the hotel maid, and finally entered, they found it elegantly dressed, lying dead hands crossed on his chest, completely ready to go ...

MYSTERY

In a series of interesting facts about Tesla, it is particularly puzzling why concealment of important occurrences in his life. By studying the area Dr. Abramovich came to unexpected discoveries. He believes, as stated in the "third eye", that is intentionally removed from the public, a substantial part of Tesla's scientific work, then his character in the film, the voice and the only portrait. Riddle deepens some data. For example, Tesla was shot several times, a maximum of 1936th , when it was done three and a half hours of live sound film on the occasion of his eighty anniversary. The public has no voice of Tesla, although he did just with Edison and was one of the first people on earth who could use a sound recording. There is not a portrait that is painted Countess Sent Paralji, most Americans recognize the portrait of that era. Dr. Abramovich still believes that thousands of physicists in the world "all of their hopes for the revival of Tesla's ideas and their technical solutions that should eventually lead to mastery of the psychological, biological and physical processes.
