Power is in a panic

Power is in a panic
July 19, 2012 Alexander Podrabinek
Only a panic state can explain another reckless bill, the idea of which was proposed by the vice speaker of the Federation Council Alexander Torshin. He wants to introduce an article in the Criminal Code on liability for the spread of panic rumors. “Depending on the degree of guilt and the consequences of the distribution of panicier rumors, it is necessary to provide criminal liability with the deprivation of liberty for up to ten years,” the first vice speaker of RIA Novosti said on July 18.
According to the agency, Mr. Torshin added that "the history of mankind knows that with martial law a panic is shot on the spot." “This is an ordinary principle acting in any country, and an emergency is very close to the military,” Torshin said.
“Shooting on the spot” is the dream of those who are not able to adopt reasonable laws, cannot solve state problems, cannot create, build and create, but wants to be in power, and any issue is resolved by pressing the index finger to the trigger.
For a day, Mr. Torshin overtook in his protective zeal his colleague on the Federation Council, the former head of the prison department of Russia Yuri Kalinin. July 17, while in Krymsk, he called for criminal liability for panic.
At first glance, the idea is completely hopeless. But this is from a normal, human point of view. And from the point of view of the authorities, this may seem a very interesting find. In fact, the concept of “panic” is extremely vague and can be applicable to anyone. Approximately like hooliganism or violation of public order. The situation to which the definition of “panic” is also applicable can also be left deliberately unclear. If, for example, someone says that the country has a terrifyingly high level of corruption, then this can be qualified as a panic. You can call a panic a forecast of a hydrometeorological center about the upcoming unpunished drying summer. The possibilities of the "rubber" law, as always, are unusually great.
Of course, this initiative can be left without the support of the Kremlin. Who knows which of the current bills are written from the direct blessing of the Kremlin, which - from its silent approval, and which were a surprise to him. Without a doubt, the servants are sophisticated in zeal, hoping that the owner will notice and appreciate them. The experience of the legislative work of the last month clearly shows what initiatives the Kremlin likes. A silent bite for the title of the most useful and pleasing is probably between the sovereign slaves. They will now come up with the most incredible laws, not embarrassed by their possible absurdity, for the owner will never condemn them for the desire to restore society and protect power.
You should not be surprised at these lawmakers either. Yuri Kalinin, in the meaning of his life, the jailer, camp kum. He began his career as an inspector of the operational part of the colony, and he probably remained Kum for life. Accordingly, legislative initiatives. Alexander Torshin worked in the prosecutor's office of the RSFSR and the apparatus of the CPSU Central Committee. What other bills can be expected from him? And to say everything to the end: what political changes can be expected from a half -regiment of the KGB V.V. Putin, who illegally holding the position of president of Russia now?
The direction of the legislative work of the Federal Assembly is understandable. The pace of this work is a little surprising, the panic haste with which some antisocial laws are adopted this summer and others are invented. Apparently, this is because the authorities themselves do not feel reliably protected from public discontent. She is in a panic. She seeks to publish as many laws that connect the hands as possible as soon as possible. She trusts that all these laws will be respected.
The authorities simply ceased to be aware of what he was doing. She is engaged in lawmaking in a state of affect. Only this is unlikely to serve her someday mitigating circumstance.
