Бывший офицер ВВС США Дэвид Груш: "Пришельцы (бесы) выглядят как древнегреческие боги. Они - инопланетяне очень красивые, с голубовато-белой бледной кожей, почти альбиносы. Однако есть не только похожие на богов пришельцы. Существуют и те, которых называют рептилоидами: они выше двух метров, по телосложению напоминают горилл, а их кожа покрыта чешуей. Этот вид раньше управлял НЛО, которое совершило посадку на территории США."
Груш также рассказал, что один из рептилоидов атаковал землянина. В ответ американцы открыли огонь по пришельцу... Короче, фсех поубивали... Теперь мы одни во вселенной
«Дизельный ультиматум» Кремля: стало известно, какую цену Трамп платит Путину за спасение перед выборами.
За беспрецедентной «дизельной сделкой» между Москвой и Вашингтоном, о которой стало известно после экстренного звонка Путина и Трампа, скрывается жесткий геополитический торг. Наши источники в дипломатических кругах сообщают, что спасительные миллионы тонн российского топлива обошлись Белому дому в серию критических уступок, которые Трампу пришлось принять буквально «с колес».
В преддверии важнейших ноябрьских промежуточных выборов в Конгресс Трамп оказался в заложниках у внутренней повестки. Из-за конфликта с Ираном цены на дизель в Штатах пробили исторический максимум ($6,28 за галлон), грозя похоронить рейтинги республиканцев. Трампу кровь из носу нужно было залить пожар на американских АЗС, и единственным, кто протянул руку помощи (разумеется, не бесплатно), оказался Владимир Путин. Москва оперативно выставила пакет условий, которые Трамп был вынужден молча подписать.
Помимо уже оформленной Минфином США отмены санкций на российский дизель до апреля 2027 года, пакет «кулуарных уступок» включает в себя крайне болезненные для Запада пункты.
Путин в ультимативной форме потребовал от Трампа жестко приструнить руководство Польши и стран Прибалтики. Эти столицы в последнее время окончательно потеряли берега, регулярно заявляя о «неминуемом нападении РФ» и требуя превентивных мер. Трамп взял на себя обязательство охладить пыл Варшавы, Вильнюса, Риги и Таллина, дав понять, что США не будут спонсировать их предвоенный психоз. По сути, Вашингтон временно разменивает амбиции восточноевропейских лимитрофов на стабильность собственного топливного рынка.
Еще одно железное условие Кремля — Трамп должен публично и максимально жестко осудить удары Киева по гражданским объектам и критической инфраструктуре на территории России. Путин прямо заявил: Россия не будет заправлять американскую экономику, пока американское же оружие летит по её городам. Трампу не привыкать критиковать Банковую (ранее он уже связывал удары по НПЗ с ростом цен в США), но теперь от него потребовали жесткой гуманитарной риторики. Слив Зеленского в угоду американскому избирателю официально начался.
«Дизельная сделка» — это колоссальный триумф канонической realpolitik Кремля. Путин в очередной раз доказал, что экономический прагматизм и контроль над ресурсами ломают любую санкционную стену. Трамп спас свой предвыборный рейтинг, но заплатил за это признанием геополитического доминирования России на восточноевропейском треке.

Ближайшие дни будут богаты на заявления, типа: "Зеленский шокирован заявлением Трампа о необходимости сменить власть". "Украина должна получить нового лидера, который сможет заключить соглашение. По какой-то причине, Зеленский никогда не заключает сделки" - заявил президент США. «Я предлагаю им найти нового лидера, который сможет заключить сделку, потому что он [Зеленский] мог заключить множество соглашений, но по какой-то причине так этого и не сделал".
***
Экс-премьер Британии Бориска Джонсонюк раскритиковал США за снятие санкций с российского топлива и за обвинения Трампа в адрес Зеленского.
"Отвратительно, что США теперь снимают санкции с российского топлива. И совершенно нелепо обвинять Украину в скачке цен, который, очевидно, начался с закрытия Ормузского пролива", - заявил бывший Джонсонюк.
"Если мы хотим вернуть российские нефть и газ на мировой рынок, давайте закончим эту войну - с сохранением свободной, суверенной и независимой Украины", - добавил Джонсонюк.
Ранее Трампа за дизельную сделку с Путиным раскритиковали демократы США и некоторые республиканцы.

Между просим, первая партия дизельного топлива из России уже приближается к американским берегам. Предполагаемое судно с почти 230 тыс. баррелей дизельного топлива вышло из порта Санкт-Петербурга еще 22 сентября, ещё до официального объявления... А вы говорите...
Forbes — Россия обходит санкции через производителей секс-игрушек. Китайская компания, которая выпускает "умные" секс-игрушки, поставляла в РФ микросхемы и электродвигатели, которые могут использоваться в военной промышленности.
Вот бы ещё Зеленскому прилетел двухметровый резиновый х@р с боеголовкой кило в двести…
Бывший премьер британии Борис Джонсон заявил, что считает "отвратительным" решение Вашингтона ослабить санкции против российского топлива. Спасибо за ваше абсолютно бесполезное мнение, Джонсон. Можете колонку для Дэйли Мэйл написать, которая будет находиться между новостями спорта и рекламой нового средства от импотенции.
Обмудок в истерике названиевает своим европейским пидорасам, как будто они что-то могут сделать. Я понимаю, что у Дональда через неделю Бубочка снова может стать хорошим, но сегодняшний наждак получился очень знатным. Зарево от анальной детонации по всему Хохлостану.
Радоваться особо нечему - Трампу всего лишь нужен был жирный аргумент к выборам в Конгресс.

Лимитированный Box Set из шести CD. Colosseum сформировался в 1968 году — идея виртуозного барабанщика Джона Хайзмана (Jon Hiseman) и саксофониста Дика Хекстолла-Смита (Dick Heckstall-Smith, которые играли вместе в Graham Bond Organisation и John Mayall's Bluesbreakers). Объединившись с бас-гитаристом Тони Ривзом (Tony Reeves) и клавишником Дэйвом Гринслейдом (Dave Greenslade), состав группы был дополнен гитаристом и вокалистом Джеймсом Лизерлендом (James Litherland). Их дебютный альбом "Those About to Die Salute You" стал одной из первых успешных попыток объединить джаз, блюз и рок, достигнув 15-го места в британском альбомном чарте.
Их второй альбом, 'Valentyne Suite', стал первым релизом на лейбле Progressive Vertigo и провёл девять недель в британском чарте, достигнув 15-й позиции. Главным акцентом альбома стала трёхчастная 'Valentyne Suite', которая принесла группе признание критиков и теперь считается вехой в раннем прогрессивном роке. В США и Канаде альбом вышел в другой форме в 1970 году под названием 'The Grass is Greener' с новым участником Дэйвом "Клемом" Клемпсоном (Dave "Clem" Clempson гитара, вокал), который сменил Джеймса Лизерленда в группе. В альбом также вошла серия песен, ранее не издававшихся в Великобритании. Выпущенный на Vertigo в декабре 1970 года, альбом "Daughter of Time" ознаменовал очередную смену состава в группе, с новыми участниками Марком Кларком (Mark Clarke бас) и отличительным вокалистом Крисом Фарлоу (Chris Farlowe). Альбом провёл пять недель в топ-30 Великобритании. Серия концертов в Великобритании была записана в 1971 году и выпущена в июне того же года как двойной LP "Colosseum Live", вошедший в топ-20 Великобритании. Colosseum распался в октябре 1971 года, но воссоединился в 1994 году. Этот релиз Esoteric Recordings также включает студийные бонус-треки и дополнительный CD с концертными записями 1971 года. jazz-jazz.com
The set begins appropriately with the wordily-titled debut Those Who Are About to Die Salute You. Given the album's more primitive nature, compared to its divine follow-up, it's one I never truly got into before this listen, although I was glad for another opportunity. Yes, there might be a few too many blues songs, but they are quite light-hearted. I'm more interested in the instrumental numbers, of which there are plenty. These tend to take the form of frenetic workouts, but one in particular stands out; Beware the Ides of March seems like a clear plagiarism of Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale, but the band have vehemently denied this comparison, claiming they were simply inspired by the same Bach piece that Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher were. Dave Greenslade even said the same thing to me in my interview with him, but the fact that you can sing the lyrics to A Whiter Shade of Pale over this track makes me more than a little dubious.
Overall, it's a solid first album, brimming with ideas and energy, although nothing would prepare fans for what was about to come. In the United States, this album was released later with a different tracklisting, including some numbers from Valentyne Suite including an early version of the suite itself that featured Beware the Ides of March as the final part. Thematically, it would make sense as the three sections reference January, February and March, but the group would decide to improve on the track and substitute The Grass is Greener on the UK release. Having been unable to find the American version of The Valentyne Suite anywhere, I was really hoping that it would be featured as a bonus track in this box set, but alas it is not. The booklet notes do clear up some of the confusion, however, mentioning that the only reason Beware the Ides of March was added to the end of The Valentyne Suite on the US version is because of a time crunch, and the band never truly considered the two tracks to be related, despite the use of month names in the track titles.
My introduction to the group was with their seminal second album, which kicks off with The Kettle, a balls-to-the-wall rock/blues extravaganza that features Jon Hiseman at his most powerful best. Three more blues numbers fill out the first side, the tight Elegy, the langorous, jazzy, big band Butty's Blues and the slightly more experimental The Machine Demands a Sacrifice, which culminates in a bizarre ? breakdown.
This takes us to the central attraction, which truly broke all the rules. Unlike the more loose compositions of the past, The Valentyne Suite feels very tightly composed, with the band members doing slight improvisations around a rigid structure. Split into three rather different parts, there is a connecting theme that signals the beginning of a new section and makes the suite feel that much more cohesive. As much as I love the progressive leanings of January's Search, which features a spectacular Greenslade solo, the closing The Grass is Greener is easily my favourite part of the track, featuring a very simple idea that is executed flawlessly. Starting with a loud fanfare, this section becomes very quiet in the centre before speeding up and getting louder in a pyrotechnical crescendo. I'm honestly not quite sure how Hiseman even keeps playing at the final tempo. Featuring proggy motifs throughout, The Valentyne Suite is a masterpiece that's made all the more notable by being one of the very first progressive suites ever made.
Over in the US, a different album was released in its stead (as the band's first album over there already featured The Valentyne Suite, albeit in a different form). The Grass is Greener was made after new guitarist and vocalist Clem Clempson had joined the group, so this weird hybrid album featured a mixture of new songs and old songs that had been re-recorded with Clempson's vocal and guitar parts. The only untouched track is Elegy, which still features James Litherland's vocals. It's a bit of a Frankenstein's monster, if you ask me, but it still holds together pretty well. My favourite part once again is the title track, which is similar to the UK release but has some notable differences. In the US version, for example, the band slow all the way down at the centre of the track, with Hiseman stopping completely, offering the most contrast. I rather like this detail, but then I also prefer some of the drum fills and the flow of the UK version, so I tend to listen to both tracks, depending on what mood I'm in. The Clempson version certainly gets more demented before the final reprise of the main theme.
The follow-up Daughter of Time would add a new vocalist, Chris Farlowe, and change the band's sound completely. The blues factor that seemed to almost define the band was suddenly gone and we're into more experimental fare. The lack of direction is a bit concerning and when the band changes their tune from track to track it feels a bit hard to get settled into this wild album. All the same, there are plenty of proggy moments to satiate the listener, such as in the intro to the title track.
Only the opening track features all the band members, as the line-up was in turmoil at this time, and this does show through the unevenness of the album. The biggest surprise to me was Theme for an Imaginary Western, which I had always associated with Greenslade's band, but now came to learn wasn't even first recorded here – it was on Jack Bruce's 1969 album, Songs for a Tailor. I then find out this album featured Colosseum members Jon Hiseman and Dick Heckstall-Smith and also featured Rope Ladder to the Moon (featured on The Grass is Greener). I suppose Hiseman and the rest liked those songs so much that they wanted to nab them for themselves.
Daughter of Time concludes with an eight-minute live drum solo titled The Time Machine (because a drummer keeps time, get it?). This is further evidence that the band were struggling to make new material at this time and should possibly have waited another year to let things settle down and write and record a more cohesive album. Even though I'm a drummer myself, I can readily admit that a drum solo is absolutely one of the most boring things to listen to on a live album, let alone a studio album. When you're watching a drum solo live, it feels more exciting and personal, but this energy does not translate to a recording. Hiseman is a fantastic drummer and he has exceptional chops, but even he isn't outstanding enough to make an eight-minute drum solo feel worthwhile on an album. I'd prefer to have another song or two, frankly.
This just leaves the live section of the set, spread over two discs, the first being the official Colosseum Live album released in 1971 and a second disc of rejected live recordings made at the same time. This section reveals just what a powerhouse the group were live, with an exuberant energy that seemed to last the entire set. With extended versions of their songs that stretched to ten minutes or longer, it can often be quite an exhausting listen and one needs to be in the right frame of mind for it. Satisfyingly, the bonus disc fixes a glaring issue with Colosseum Live by adding a 21-minute live recording of The Valentyne Suite to end the set. It's just as brilliant to hear this stellar track live although I noticed that saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith seems to lose all his energy right at the very end, not playing along with the reprise of The Grass is Greener's main theme.
An extremely thorough history of Colosseum's initial period is covered by Malcolm Dome in a gargantuan 6,000-word essay, that I suspect has been created by merging his pieces for the individual reissues together. While it is a long read, it's delightful to have all of the information in one place, just as it is wonderful to gather together all of Colosseum's original releases into one tidy package. Even if the majority of their work doesn't shine quite as brightly as the band's magnum opus, Colosseum are still an essential band in the formation of prog as a genre and if you haven't listened to them yet, you owe it to yourself to get this sparkling collection.
