Меня больше всего удивляет, как такие взрослые и здравомыслящие люди как вы могут интересоваться такой ерундой, как дело Pussi Riot. Это же уровень желтых газет. Неужели эти события действительно достойны обсуждения?

О Национальном Фонде Поддержки Демократии (NED)
Национальный Фонд Поддержки Демократии (NED) является частной некоммерческой организацией, деятельность которой направлена на развитие и укрепление демократических институтов по всему миру. Ежегодно фонд NED выплачивает более 1.000 грантов на поддержку проектов неправительственных организаций за рубежом, работающих над достижением демократических целей в более чем 90 странах.
С момента своего основания в 1983 году фонд NED продолжает повсеместно оставаться на переднем краю борьбы за демократию и в настоящее время превратился в многогранную организацию, являющейся центром деятельности, ресурсов и обмена мнениями активистов и людей, занимающейся практической и научной деятельностью в области демократии, со всего земного шара.
Фонд NED – уникальная организация. Поскольку фонд NED является неправительственной организацией, он имеет определенную свободу действий, которая дает возможность работать в некоторых самых сложных обстоятельствах, возникающих в мире, и быстро реагировать при возникновении благоприятного случая для политических изменений. Деятельность фонда NED направлена на способствование росту широкого спектра демократических организаций за рубежом, включая политические партии, профсоюзы, свободные рынки и коммерческие организации, а также большое количество элементов гражданского общества, обеспечивающих права человека, свободу средств массовой информации и верховенство закона.
Такой всесторонний подход отвечает разнообразным аспектам демократии, и вся история фонда NED подтверждает состоятельность этого подхода как с точки зрения практики, так и с точки зрения эффективности. Финансирование, в основном, осуществляется Конгрессом США. Поддержка Фонда NED организациям за рубежом является важным посланием о солидарности многим демократическим силам, борющимся за свободу и права человека, зачастую в безвестности и изоляции.
Поддерживая демократию, мы исходим из убеждения, что свобода является всеобщим стремлением человечества, которое может быть реализовано только путем развития демократических институтов, процедур и ценностей. Невозможно достичь демократии путем лишь одного голосования, и демократия не обязательно должна быть основана на модели Соединенных Штатов или какой-либо другой страны. Скорее она развивается в соответствии с потребностями и традициями различных политических культур. Оказывая поддержку этому процессу, Фонд NED помогает укреплять связь между национальными демократическими движениями за рубежом и народом Соединенных Штатов – связь, основанную на общем стремлении к представительному правлению и свободе, как образу жизни.Мы помещаем полную информацию обо всех своих грантах и мероприятиях на данном сайте. Кроме того, наша деятельность контролируется на разных уровнях со стороны Конгресса США, Государственного департамента и независимого финансового аудита.<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ned.org/where-we-work/eurasia/russia">http://ned.org/where-we-work/eurasia/russia</a><!-- m -->

Во нафлудила то.Вопрос:это всё к чему?

[AG]Lunatik, если обсуждение Pussi Riot навевает на вас такую тоску то может быть вы тогда прокомментируете свое видение задержания Гарика )? Скандальное видео, в котором его прямо во время дачи интервью журналистам нагло бесцеремонно и грубо волокут в омоновский пазик, из которого в последствии слышны шум драки и побоев это по вашему постановочные трюки, спектакль и провокация )? Или вы быть может так же придерживаетесь официальной версии, что данный представитель оппозиции *покусал * полицейского )?
-
Diz_Neev, Вариант, оказывал сопротивление при задержании, укусил полицейского не расматривается? )
Каспаров всегда был психически неуравновешенным. -
Xharn, Вы там были, я уверена, стояли рядом и держали свечку )
P/S Прежде чем отвечать вопросами на вопрос не поленились бы ознакомиться с имеющимися материаллами.
Вопрос был адресован явно не в вашу сторону так что попрошу, до поры, воздержаться от комментариев ) -
@drinkermann:
А вся эта религиозная муть только опустила сама себя в глазах своих же прихожан. У них там прямым текстом написано "ударили по левой щеке - подставь правую", возлюби ближнего и все в таком духе.
Да, РПЦ показали себя во всей красе:) А у пословицы есть продолжение "подставь правую, но не дай ударить". Вообще там сначала правая, а потом левая, но не суть)) -

Super Veps, Я прошу только прокомментировать, не надо делать досужих домыслов в поисках скрытого подтекста. Не реально, не гипотетически и дафе не сферически в вакууме не думаю )), мне исключительно интересно мнение [AG]Lunatik на поставленный вопрос! Кто, чем и когда будет рулить в данный момент не обсуждается.

@Diz_Neev:

Хм..,тогда не пофигу ли,кусал Гарик полицая за пятку или не кусал? -
Diz_Neev, я не очень то хотел комментировать поведение Каспарова, и его задержание. Я вообще не интересуюсь всем, что связанно с Бунтом Кисок, и смотрю эти новости по диагонали, читая через строчку. Я не смотрел видео задержания и не хочу смотреть. Мне жалко, что уважаемый гроссмейстер решил поддержать маргинальный бунт. Но это его право.
Если вам интересно мое мнение, то всё, что вы сейчас читаете и смотрите в новостях - это информационная баталия между ПРщиками официальной власти и ПРщиками оппозиции, и каждая сторона старается склонить общественное мнение на свою сторону, поэтому оценивать происходящее объективно очень тяжело. При этом общественное мнение умело отвлекается такими приёмами, как искусственное муссирование ажиотажа вокруг несчастных девочек-панков.
Понимаете, я лично не поддерживаю такие способы выражения протеста, какие применяют Pussy Riot, FEMEN и тому подобные группировки, поскольку я уважаю закон. Если каждый начнёт находить оправдание для нарушения закона в том, что они таким образом выражают свою гражданскую позицию, то очень скоро станет слишком тяжело подавить анархические движения (читайте теорию разбитых окон). В конце концов, любой имеет право считать Путина "нечистоплотным" политиком, но это не даёт никому права ходить с пенисом наголо, на котором будет написано "Долой Путина!" (надеюсь, аналогия понятна) Моя мысль состоит в том, что не следует перешагивать черту в выражении своего недовольства.
Поэтому, завершая прелюдию и возвращаясь к вопросу, я отвечу - Каспаров оказался не в том месте не в то время. Возможно, он не кусал полицейского, и тогда налицо полицейский произвол. Но возможно он действительно оказывал сопротивление полиции, а этого делать нельзя, будучи даже трижды гроссмейстером. Перед лицом закона все равны, не так ли? Не этого ли мы все хотим?
Но всё-таки главная мысль в том, что Pussi Riot, Femen, священники и прочие не стоящие такого внимания объекты - лишь ширма для гораздо более серьёзных и более актуальных глобальных проблем, от которых необходимо отвлечь общественность, а именно экономический кризис, продовольственный кризис (в том числе с водой), боевые действия на ближнем востоке. Потенциал у этих проблем значительно выше, чем у дела Pussy Riot.
В качестве заключения хочу привести эпизод из экранизации замечательной умной книги "Поколение "Пи"" Пелевина:

PS: то что сейчас происходит в мире, имеет определяющее значение для развития геополитики на ближайшие полсотни лет. Америка разворачивает свой показушный курс "перезагрузки" отношений с РФ на 180 градусов, поскольку эта стратегия себя явно изжила, и теперь необходимо в преддверии выборов президента США склонять электорат на свою сторону. Дело в том, что Россия слишком быстро начала проявлять жесткую позицию по ряду вопросов (Грузия 2008, ЕвроПРО 2011, Сирия 2012), в то время, как США рассчитывала на большую уступчивость в обмен на... в обмен на ничто - Россия так ничего и не получила, слив, например Ливию.
Теперь кандидат в президенты США Обама начинает осознавать, что ранее выбранный им курс на сближение с Россией не приносит ожидаемых плодов, и он теряет голоса.
Казалось бы, причём тут Каспаров и Pussy Riot. Если вы почитаете американскую прессу, станет понятнее, что американцам очень удобно изображать Путина как кровавого диктатора, стремящегося возродить прежнюю воинственную империю. Рядовой американский избиратель действительно опасается этого загадочного КГБшника, поскольку многие из них уже родились, когда истерия опасения бомбардировок на фоне холодной войны активно муссировалась правительством США.
Например, вот что пишет The Wall Street Journal о задержании Каспарова в своей статье "When Putin's Thugs Came for Me" (Кому не интересно читать на английском или гуглить перевод - там очень много полуправды, убедительно смешанной с утверждениями которые сложно опровергнуть, типа "В стране, где могут посадить на два года за песню" и тому подобное).
В общем, возрождение русской угрозы - очень удобная нынче для американских пастухов тема, позволяет держать своих овечек в напряжении, и умело руководить стадом. А управлять общественным сознанием они научились гораздо раньше, чем мы, и могут дать неплохую фору в этом деле.
Поэтому, верить или нет Каспарову - для меня не стоит вопрос. Для меня стоит вопрос - погружаться ли во всё это с головой или фильтровать? -

[AG]Lunatik, на любой законный способ протеста у действующей власти всегда найдутся соответствующие контрмеры в том числе и не вполне законные, на то она и действующая власть )
Это в Европе люди могут выйти на улицы не опасаясь за свое здоровье, а на следующее утро премьер подаст в отставку. В России матушке такой подход не прокатывает у народа нет реального действующего законодательного инструмента воздействия на действующие органы власти. Аресты, запугивания, фабрикация уголовных дел, публичные расправы и так далее, и все это по отношению к абсолютно рядовым добропорядочным гражданам. Я не рассматриваю сейчас ярких представителях оппозиции и политических движений. Ранее, в данной теме, я уже приводила примеры из жизни моего города когда, в преддверии митинга на болотной, омон с применением силы высаживал молодежь с поездов до москвы при этом никаких аргументированных причин приведено не было, кого то увезли в кпз, некоторые попали в травмпункты. Замечу по факту превышения должностных полномочий не было возбуждено ни одного уголовного дела. За участие как это сейчас говорят в "несанкционированном митинге" можно получить срок гораздо больший чем скажем получит маньяк педофил. Какими законными способами, по вашему, можно бороться с такой властью? Людям запрещают выражать свое мнение открыто, мне почему то сразу вспоминается северная корея <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://anton-klyushev.livejournal.com/125823.html">http://anton-klyushev.livejournal.com/125823.html</a><!-- m -->
Еще один яркий пример буквально на днях охрана одного из крупных развлекательных центров Москвы задержала молодого человека только за то что на нем была футболка со скандальной, по их мнению надписью, "Богородица Путина прогони. К месту происшествия был вызван наряд полиции, а молодому человеку хотят предъявить обвинения в экстремизме. -

С властью не надо боротся,её надо поддерживать.В Корее поддержка власти близка к 100%,какие тут сравнения могут быть.> > @Diz_Neev:Это в Европе люди могут выйти на улицы не опасаясь за свое здоровье, а на следующее утро премьер подаст в отставку. В России матушке такой подход не прокатывает
Поддержали Путина 50% населения ,они не хотят как в Европе,они хотят как в России.Этим людям накласть на демсвободы,их всё устраивает и они имеют право на своё мнение.Вывод:"как в Европе"на данный момент не получается.Посему,или едем в Европу(чтоб как там),или ждём 6 лет,когда Путин уйдёт на повышение,а руль передаст Прохорову,надеемся что ему.Любая же смута,это зло. -

Дорогой человек, ну вы ведь и множество белоленточных - и пишут и на улицах машут плакатами.
Есть свобода слова, есть. Просто она стала заканчиваться там, где начинается свобода других людей. И вы внезапно обнаружили, что , о боже, вы живете не в пустом ангаре, а в обществе. Где не всем нравятся, о боже, ВАШИ ВЕЛИКИЕ мысли. И если вы орете с памятника партизанам и одеваете им на голову тряпки, вам бьют мосю не гадкие полицаи, а рядовые граждане. Если раз за разом получаешь от разных людей по морде, то дело не в людях, а в морде.
Я не хочу что бы у меня рядом с домом орали гопники по ночам, ровно как и опозиционеры. Мне не нравится ни когда в Храме поют на амвоне какие-то идиотки, ни когда сумасшедшие старушки с иконами на перевес штурмуют суд. И там и там действует полиция, я это видела.
То, что в стране есть порядок - вот что делает привлекательной нынешнюю власть. У России прививка к революциям после 90х. -
