We poked them in exactly the sore spot. Here’s the hottest news about the Party of Crooks and Thieves for today:
A mock-up of a fake leaflet about rising housing and utility rates is being distributed via Alexei Navalny’s blog on livejournal.com in the Party’s name A mock-up of a fake leaflet concerning increases in housing and utility service rates is being distributed via Alexei Navalny’s blog on livejournal.com in the name of the UNITED RUSSIA party and using party symbols. These forgeries constitute a cynical and demonstrative violation of current law, and we will demand that law enforcement conduct the most thorough possible investigation and punish those responsible. It is obvious that Navalny is trying to divert the attention of the media and active citizens from the corruption scandal involving possible participation by Kirov Region Governor Nikita Belykh. Navalny has once again demonstrated that in pursuit of his goals he will stop at nothing, including the dirtiest and most unlawful methods, which mislead people. We strongly urge citizens not to fall for these provocations! We are monitoring the housing and utilities sector with the utmost care in order to prevent unjustified tariff increases and fraud by management companies. A hotline operated by the Tariff Policy Commission is available for citizens’ appeals. http://er.ru/news/2012/7/4/navalnyj-rasprostranyaet-falshivye-listovki-edinoj-rossii/ Yury Shvytkin, a United Russia deputy in the regional legislative assembly, plans to punish blogger Alexei Navalny. The trigger was a leaflet mock-up posted in the opposition figure’s LiveJournal blog. In it, the “party of power” says that housing and utility rates will rise from July 1, and that all citizens’ complaints about the price increases have been found groundless. It also states that in regions where President Vladimir Putin received the highest number of votes in the most recent election, people will pay less for housing and communal services. Navalny is urging people to print the leaflet and post it in the entrances of apartment buildings. United Russia has already called the leaflet a “cynical and demonstrative violation of current law.” Deputy Yury Shvytkin was quick to say that he is ready to appeal to law enforcement. “Alexei Navalny has once again shown his true face. He leads people out to rallies, but does not solve problems; instead, behind their backs, he tries to earn political dividends. By spreading this kind of ‘campaign material,’ he shows his brazen, boorish, contemptuous attitude not only toward the law, but toward the people of Russia as well. In my view, such an act is morally repugnant; one must not play on people’s problems. As coordinator of the ‘People’s Control’ project, I can say that we are doing thorough work with the public and monitoring housing and utility tariffs in all districts of Krasnoyarsk Krai (a region in Siberia) so that no one is deceived. I intend to appeal to law enforcement, seek an investigation into this incident, and hold Navalny accountable, including criminal liability,” Yury Shvytkin said. Let us add that over the past month, several United Russia representatives have announced plans to sue Alexei Navalny, who is considered one of the leaders of the “Bolotnaya” opposition (named after Moscow’s Bolotnaya Square protests). http://www.iapress-line.ru/politics/item/10165-tdinoross Just think about that. They’re talking about moral repugnance. About not stooping to the dirtiest methods. Unbelievable. This disgusting pack of crooks and thieves, who never utter a single word of truth, suddenly remembers “morality” and “dirty methods.” They photoshopped my picture with Berezovsky into an official pro-Putin campaign newspaper. On every TV channel they screeched, “a criminal case has been opened, Navalny stole the Kirov timber,” and when I received the order saying the case had been closed and that I was owed an apology, not one bastard on state TV bothered to report it. During an illegal search they seized my computers, hacked my email through them, leaked my private correspondence via the police-connected “hacker Maksimov,” published old correspondence of ours with Belykh concerning old debts, and for three days now every TV channel has been broadcasting “Navalny stole a distillery.” What distillery? Where is this distillery? Show me this distillery. But nobody cares. Somewhere on planet Earth there is a distillery, therefore Navalny stole it. The chief media prostitute and paid hack Solovyov, together with his friend “Stomach Balloon,” squeals so hard on every program that he surpasses his old records. Complaints to the prosecutor’s office against me are being filed by that inseparable pair, Burmatov and Gattarov, who staged a forest fire for the sake of a flattering article about themselves. United Russia and the State Duma have done nothing on any major case uncovered by our investigations. Not on VTB, not on Transneft, not on Gazprom, not on Vekselberg, not on Shuvalov. On the contrary, they do everything they can to shield the crooks. But now look how upset they are. They don’t care if people write blog posts about them, but leaflets for grandmothers about housing and utility rates scare them. Let’s ram this leaflet down the throats of these filthy United Russia hacks. Yesterday, the information letter for distribution in the regions was downloaded about 35,500 times from http://er.mashina.org/ (another 25,000 downloads were made by a Kremlin-crook bot, but we’re not counting that). If at least half of those who downloaded it put even minimal effort into this DMP campaign and distribute at least 10 leaflets each, that’s already 200,000 copies. Distributing them isn’t just easy — it’s very easy. Here are my photos taken this morning:
3.5 minutes, and the neighbors are covered. In my previous post I said one million by New Year’s. Wrong. Five million. Anyone can effectively distribute 100 leaflets over a couple of weeks without breaking a sweat. Distribute them far and wide. When you put them up, think: “That’s for Magnitsky,” “That’s for the law on rallies,” “That’s for the uninvestigated Transneft case, you crooks.” Go to http://er.mashina.org/ download, distribute. Let the Party of Crooks and Thieves put up with it — after all, they’re stealing off these tariffs too.
