ОЩЕ МАЛКО ПОЛИТИКА В НАЧАЛОТО НА СЕПТЕМВРИ

“ПУТИН НЯМА ДА СЕ ИЗВИНИ ЗАРАДИ СТАЛИН. РУСИЯ ДНЕС Е ПРЕД ИКОНОМИЧЕСКИ РАЗПАД И СИ ТЪРСИ НОВИ ВРАГОВЕ”

ИНТЕРВЮ НА ГЕОРГИ КОРИТАРОВ С РУСКИЯ ПИСАТЕЛ ВИКТОР СУВОРОВ.
ГЕОРГИ КОРИТАРОВ: На първи септември светът отбелязва седемдесетата годишнина от началото на Втората световна война. По какъв начин днес можем да определим ролята на тогавашния Съветски съюз?
ВИКТОР СУВОРОВ: Ролята на тогавашния Съветски съюз беше решаваща. Сега е прието да се смята, че Германия и Съветския съюз са разпалили Втората световна война. Има и опити те да бъдат поставени на една и съща плоскост на отговорност. Но всички историци и образовани хора добре знаят, че на трети септември 1939 г. Великобритания и Франция обявиха война на Хитлер. На всички е известна реакцията на Хитлер тогава – той е бил шокиран. Той просто не е знаел какво да прави по-нататък. Смятал е, че това ще бъде просто демилитаризирана зона. При анекса на Австрия Западът не реагира. След това – при Чехословакия – пак не реагира. Затова и реакцията на Франция и Великобритания, които обявиха война на Германия заради Полша, шокира Хитлер, който не е имал никакво намерение в този момент да започва световна война. Докато Сталин е искал да разпали световна война. Това е било сталински капан за Хитлер. Впрочем Сталин е разказал своята гледна точка на българския гражданин Георги Димитров. Дневникът на Георги Димитров е публикуван – на 7 септември Сталин обяснява защо е направил всичко това – с думите „нека се бият помежду си, а след това ние ще се появим като освободители”. Така че и реакцията на Хитлер и реакцията на Сталин се потвърждават с документи.
Г. К.: Как трябва днес да бъде четен и анализиран пакта Рибентроп-Молотов?
В. С.: Основното е в това, че те официално са подписали Пакт за ненападение. Той така се е казвал – Пакт за ненападение, но той трябва да бъде четен и разбиран като Пакт за нападение, защото са се договорили заедно да нападнат Полша. Подписват пакта и след седмица започва световна война. Съществуват документи, които доказват, че на трети септември, когато Великобритания и Франция обявяват война на Германия, Рибентроп изпраща телеграма на Молотов. В нея Рибентроп пише на Молотов – нали се договорихме с теб, време е Съветската армия да напада Полша. Нали се договорихме? Какво още чакате? – А Молотов не му отговаря на 3 септември, не му отговаря и на 4 септември. Отговаря едва на 5 септември. Той пише, че Съветският съюз скоро ще нападне, но не сега, а малко по-късно. Т.е. Съветският съюз е излъгал Германия.
Г. К.: Защо?
В. С.: Сталин е излъгал Хитлер. Хитлер е очаквал, че Сталин ще нападне Полша едновременно с него. Но Германия напада, а Съветският съюз не напада веднага. Пактът Рибентроп-Молотов трябва да бъде четен като сговор, но Сталин излъгва Хитлер.
Г. К.: Защо Сталин излъгва Хитлер? За да го представи като виновник за войната ли?
В. С.: Да. Първо – Хитлер изглежда виновен. Второ – Великобритания и Франция му обявяват война. Хитлер не е бил в състояние да победи Великобритания, защото не е разполагал нито с подходяща авиация, нито с подходящ флот. Освен това зад Великобритания винаги е стояла Америка. Така че още на 3 септември 1939 г. Хитлер е загубил войната. Той е виновин за разпалването й и не е в състояние да я спечели при никакви условия.
Г. К.: А с какво е можел Сталин да помогне на Хитлер, ако беше изпълнил ангажиментите си от пакта?
В. С.: Тогава нещата щяха да изглеждат съвсем другояче.
Г. К.: Защо?
В. С.: Ако те едновременно бяха нападнали Полша, щеше да има два варианта. Или Франция и Великобритания нямаше да обявят война на Германия, защото до нея щеше да бъде Съветския съюз, или, ако бяха обявили война едновременно и на Хитлер и на Сталин, положението на Германия щеше да бъде съвсем различно. Това щеше да бъде много мощен блок между Германия и Съветския съюз, срещу които да се изправят Великобританя и Франция.
Г. К.: Това означава, че потенциално е било възможно във войната нацистка Германия да се окаже официален съюзник на Съветския съюз?
В. С.: Да, разбира се. Те и са били официални съюзници. Само че Сталин така е направил, че да обявят война на Хитлер, а на него – не. И когато на 17 септември Съветският съюз нахлува в Полша, Великобритания и Франция вече имат нужда да привлекат Сталин на своя страна като съюзник. Сталин е съюзник на Хитлер, но интересите на Франция и Великобритания изискват ресурсите на Съветския съюз да не попаднат в разпореждане на Хитлер. И тогава Франция и Великобритания започват да примамват Сталин на своя страна, същата роля играе и Америка. Америка в определен момент оказва влияние върху Сталин да нападне Германия – такива документи открих и съм ги разработил в най-новата си книга, която скоро ще се появи и в България.
Г. К.: Може ли да се очаква, че на срещата в Гданск за отбелязване на годишнината от войната Русия в лицето на своя премиер Владимир Путин ще се извини по някакъв начин за агресивната политика на бившия Съветски съюз от онова време?
В. С.: Не. Такова нещо не трябва да се очаква. Мисля, че Путин няма да се извини. В големите полски вестници вече е публикувана статия от Владимир Путин, в която той разпределя поравно отговорността за началото на войната. И Германия е виновна, и Полша, и Америка, и Великобритания
и Съветския съюз. Изобщо – всички са виновни. Така че нека да не се ровим в миналото. Далеч по-важното е, че в момента Русия е в изключително тежко икономическо положение. Образно казано, руската мечка се клатушка върху барел с петрол и изцяло зависи от неговата цена. Ако цената се окаже ниска, Русия ще се разпадне. При такава опасност на политическата върхушка в Москва не й остава нищо друго освен да търси врагове навсякъде около себе си и с тях да обяснява състоянието, в което се намира руската държава. Но понеже днешна Русия няма ресурси да тръгне със сила срещу образите на големите си външни врагове, както стори това с беззащитната Грузия, то агресивната енергия на режима ще се насочи навътре в обществото – към търсене и разправа с вътрешни врагове. Така се случва при всяка диктатура.

МНЕНИЯ НА КОМЕНТИРАЛИ:

1. Суворов повтаря това от години , но кучетата си лаят ,а керванът си върви . Вчера по БНТ даваха някакъв слъзлив руски филм за следвоенните години , а онзи ден по БТВ сериал за подвизите на воиската . Как един глас ще се чуе на фона на тази мощна пропаганда?
2. Както винаги, Виктор Суворов е убийствено прав. С аргументи и факти не може да се спори с него. Затова комунистите- и предишните, и сегашните в Русия, са готови само и единствено да го разстрелят, но не и да го оборят с факти и доказателства.
3. Mnogo tochen analiz, za sabitiqta togava.
4. @ димо, отдавна е изяснено от американските икономисти, че САЩ са имали огромна заинтересованост по икономически причини от избухването на войната. Повтарям – от американските икономисти и отдавна. Само в Европа се повтаря от десетилетия мита, че само Германия или само Русия са виновните. Защо това е така не ми е ясно. Американците отдавна са поели вината си за войната, а ние отказваме да ги посочим сред заинтересованите от нея. Дали вината е по равно между всички, обаче е трудно да се претегли.
Интересно , защо добрия Бжежински одобрява статията на лошия Путин.

Коритаров пак се уреди с телевизииония ефир
Георги Коритаров ще бъде отново на екран! Популярният политически анализатор, който дълго време бе водещ на сутрешния блок на Нова телевизия, а преди това имаше рубрика и в bTV, ще започне свое предаване в Пловдивска телевизия „Тракия“, известна още като ПОТВЗасега е ясно, че предаването ще се казва „Коритаров онлайн“, като повече подробности се очакват в близките дни. От Нова телевизия той си тръгна след като бе обвинен от Валентин Златев за телевизионен рекет. След това Жоро бе за кратко в ББТ, но оттам пък го натири Ирена Кръстева.Очакваше се журналистът да започне работа в Канал 3 при Сашо Диков, но изглежда офертата от Пловдив е била по примамлива.

Is Germany’s Charlemagne About to Appear?
From the October 2009 Trumpet Print Edition »
By Gerald Flurry

As I write this article, Germany is just weeks from electing a new chancellor. That election and events to unfold from it are going to bring devastating consequences to this world. A dangerous political structure has been built in the European Union, and it’s about to get a lot worse. History thunders its strongest warning ever! It’s time that people understood that history.
But there is a lot more than history involved in understanding European politics.
What is happening in the European superstate is a mystery to most of the world. But that mystery is beginning to be removed.
Bernard Connolly wrote a bombshell book in 1995 titled The Rotten Heart of Europe. For years he served at the heart of the Exchange Rate Mechanism for the European Union. He headed the commission unit responsible for monitoring and servicing the system. He labels the European superstate as rotten. Since he had a vital job on the inside, his comments deserve our attention.

The Spirit of Charlemagne
“It is the battle for control of the European superstate,” Mr. Connolly wrote, “in which French technocrats confront German federalists, both sides claiming to fight under the banner of Charlemagne. The ‘collateral damage’ from this battle lies mainly in the future, but it could be ghastly” (emphasis mine throughout).
“It could be ghastly.” That is an understatement!
Who will get control of this great superstate? And just how ghastly is it going to be? The battle can be narrowed down to two nations—France and Germany. Do knowledgeable people really doubt who has already won this battle? The nation that controls the money will reign supreme. Of course, that has already proven to be Germany.
“Across the Rhine, successive German governments have, in their pursuit of a ‘European’ cloak for German ambitions, been prepared to accept an apparent cession of national monetary authority—as long as the new European monetary authority looks, sounds, smells and acts exactly as the German monetary authority now does” (ibid.).
The EU system has already been called a Trojan horse. Mr. Connolly says it is a “cloak for German ambitions.”
Just what are those ambitions? And why should every person on Earth be deeply concerned?
Otto von Habsburg was one of the key figures in creating the European Union. He had this to say about that union: “The [European] Community is living largely by the heritage of the Holy Roman Empire, though the great majority of the people who live by it don’t know by what heritage they live.”
Twenty-seven countries are members of the EU today. Most of them don’t know that they are “living largely by the heritage of the Holy Roman Empire.” It is a mystery to them.
According to Bible prophecy, the number of member nations or groups of nations will be reduced to 10 rulers. There are simply too many nations in the EU now for the Union to be ruled in the spirit of Charlemagne. Only after it has been severely reduced in member countries can the Holy Roman Empire function as it has in its extremely bloody past.
Mr. Habsburg also said, “We possess a European symbol which belongs to all nations of Europe equally; this is the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, which embodies the tradition of Charlemagne.”
Just what is “the tradition of Charlemagne”? It is far from what most people think it is—even Europeans!

Charles the Great
The Franks were the first barbaric tribe to embrace Catholicism, but it was for political gain, not religious reasons. Mostly of Germanic origin, the Franks used the Catholic Church to support their expansionist policies, while the church relied on Frankish rulers for protection. It was a union based on politics alone.
The Frankish kingdom reached the pinnacle of its power during the rule of Charlemagne (Charles the Great). Before Charlemagne’s emergence as world ruler, the political scene in Europe was greatly divided. Germany was sliced into many different tribes. Much of Italy was occupied by the Lombards. Byzantium was recognized as the successor to the eastern region of the old Roman Empire. Charlemagne, in conjunction with the papal throne, eventually changed all that—but not without much bloodshed.
Historians call his rule the First Reich—even though Charlemagne was the second ruler of the Holy Roman Empire. Adolf Hitler’s rule became known as the Third Reich.
Charlemagne felt it his duty to defend the church. In 774, at the request of Pope Leo iii, he entered northern Italy and conquered the Lombard kingdom, uniting Italy for the first time in centuries. In 799, he again came to the aid of the pope, who was assaulted, brutally beaten, and thrown into prison by a band of conspirators. With the military backing of Charles and his Frankish troops, the pope was exonerated of all wrongdoing and reinstated to his ecclesiastic office.
The following year, in Rome, while Charlemagne was kneeling in prayer during a Christmas celebration inside old St. Peter’s Church, the pope placed a crown upon his head, pronouncing him “the 73rd emperor of the fourth world empire.”
At this point, we should note that throughout the Middle Ages, many scholars, theologians, even popes, knew the Roman Empire was the fourth world-ruling kingdom. Many of them even identified this fourth kingdom with the one Daniel spoke of in his prophecy (see Daniel 2:37-43). That’s why Europeans and Catholics kept trying to revive the empire! The Bible said there would only be four such empires. However, the fourth empire would have 10 resurrections, according to Bible prophecy. The last seven of those resurrections would be called Holy Roman Empires, because they were ruled by church and state.
As king of the Franks, Charlemagne was able to subjugate every single German tribe but one: the Saxons. The Saxons clung to their own faith and refused, even on pain of death, to submit to Roman Catholicism. Charlemagne determined to force his brand of Christianity on them with the sword. For years the Saxons obstinately resisted. At one point, out of sheer frustration, Charlemagne executed 4,500 Saxon prisoners. This barbarous act angered the Saxons even more.
It took 30 years for Charles to completely extinguish the “Saxon” problem, but not before multiple thousands had been executed for their religious beliefs. After more than 18 conquests against the Saxons, Charles finally prevailed. In the end, Saxons either subjected themselves to the rule of Charles, or their defiance ended in death.
The Holy Roman Empire has never been democratic. It could never be. Even Pope Pius xii said the church had twin enemies: the democracies and communism. He was pope at the peak of Communist power.
As emperor of the “Holy” Roman Empire, Charles felt it his duty to spread the Christian faith using whatever means necessary. The New Encyclopedia Britannica says, “The violent methods by which this missionary task was carried out had been unknown to the earlier Middle Ages, and the sanguinary [bloody] punishment meted out to those who broke canon law or continued to engage in pagan practices called forth criticism in Charles’ own circle” (“Charlemagne, Emperor”).

The violence Charlemagne used to enforce the Catholic religion on his subjects was simply unknown in earlier empires!
He forced his brand of Christianity on everyone. His empire may have had distinct ties to the ancient Romans, but it was certainly not “holy”—even if there was a great church guiding it.
And yet, for centuries to come, the aim of succeeding emperors was to restore the traditions of Charlemagne in their quest to revive the Roman Empire!
Even today, Germany and a great church are working to restore the tradition of Charlemagne. They have almost completed the structure. Still, it is a mystery to most of the world’s inhabitants.
Let the world beware! That power structure is ready to burst on the world scene—again!
Charlemagne’s bloody conquests were the worst ever in the history of the previous empires. The conquests of the next Holy Roman Empire are going to be the worst suffering ever inflicted on human beings in the history of man! (Matthew 24:21-22; Daniel 12:1; Jeremiah 30:1-10).
It will all be done in the spirit of Charlemagne. Most people won’t awaken out of their stupor until it’s too late!
Charlemagne’s empire, one of the greatest ever to rule in Europe, did not even outlive his son and successor. After it dissolved, the peoples on the western side of his empire eventually became known as French. The German-speaking peoples between the Rhine and the Slavs in the east developed into Germany. The fact that he ruled over both peoples is why some dispute the national heritage of Charlemagne.

Hitler and the Crown Jewels
Look again at what Otto von Habsburg said about the crown jewels: “We possess a European symbol which belongs to all nations of Europe equally; this is the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, which embodies the tradition of Charlemagne.”
Adolf Hitler was the leader of the sixth Holy Roman Empire. He knew all about the crown of Charlemagne and the crown jewels.
Much of the world looks upon the Jews as God’s chosen people. In Vienna, Hitler came to believe that God had replaced the Jews with the Germans and the Holy Roman Empire. He believed the Germans were God’s chosen people. This is why the crown jewels of that empire meant so much to him.
In 1938, at a rally in Nuremberg, “Hitler had brought from Vienna, after 140 years, the insignia of the First Reich [Charlemagne]—the imperial crown, the orb of empire, the scepter and the imperial sword. At the presentation of these symbols of imperialism he solemnly vowed that they would remain in Nuremberg forever” (John Toland, Adolf Hitler).
That was a strong statement. He “solemnly vowed” that the crown jewels of the Holy Roman Empire were to “remain in Nuremberg forever.” This is like a death-defying commitment to the Holy Roman Empire and his god! He made a vow forever!
Hitler ruled the Third Reich. He knew the crown jewels would be a powerful symbol of Charlemagne’s First Reich.

Hitler came in the tradition of Charlemagne! He, like Charlemagne, savagely and brutally destroyed people as no empire before him!
The next leader of the Holy Roman Empire is going to commit the most monstrous crimes ever against humanity. It’s all going to be done in the tradition of Charlemagne! It’s time for this world to wake up to what is happening in Europe!
Many scoffed at what Margaret Thatcher said in 1995: “You have not anchored Germany to Europe; you have anchored Europe to a newly dominant, unified Germany. In the end, my friends, you’ll find it will not work.”

Mrs. Thatcher knew it would have a bad ending. She knew it “could be ghastly,” as Bernard Connolly said. It will be ghastlier than you can even imagine!
We have forgotten our own recent history. Hitler started World War ii. About 50 million people were killed.

After the Allies defeated Hitler in World War ii, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt signed a document to prevent Germany from ever coming in the tradition of Charlemagne again. They said, “It is our inflexible purpose to destroy German militarism and Nazism and to ensure Germany will never again be able to disturb the peace of the world.”
Germany started both world wars. It has a history of starting wars. Churchill and Roosevelt understood Germany’s history of warfare. But America and Britain have forgotten that history today. That lapse of memory will be the costliest ever for both nations. (Request our free booklet Germany and the Holy Roman Empire.)
Germany is about to start World War iii—according to your Bible. It will be the deadliest war ever on Earth. Thankfully, the seventh and last head of the Holy Roman Empire will usher in the coming of the Messiah. No nation will ever again be ruled in the tradition of Charlemagne.

Same Axis, More Evil
by Clare M. Lopez
09/01/2009

Across the Atlantic, the “special relationship” meant the American-British alliance, the core of the alliance that defeated Hitler in a hot war and the Soviet Union in a cold one.

But now the “special relationship” is between Iran and North Korea, the two nations which prove daily that the “axis of evil” idea wasn’t just another poor choice of words by George W. Bush.
In late July, a cargo ship carrying North Korean weapons bound for Iran was seized by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The seizure was the first since the United Nations Security Council stiffened a tough arms embargo against North Korea in the wake of its second nuclear test in May. The UNSC sanctions authorize ship searches on the high seas and complement sanctions already in place against Iran that are intended to curb its nuclear weapons development program. There are a number of things wrong with this picture.
The most obvious problem is the open working arrangement between Iran and North Korea to develop deliverable nuclear weapons. Both countries have made it abundantly clear that they hold Iran’s obligations under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and UNSC resolutions aimed at curbing North Korea’s proliferation activities in about the same regard as they do the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. North Korea was caught building a nuclear reactor in Syria (destroyed by the Israelis in September 2007) and defector reports recently made public allege Pyongyang is also helping Myanmar to build a nuclear reactor and plutonium extraction plant. It was specifically to authorize interdiction of North Korean shipments of nuclear-related material to this rogues gallery of global pariah states that the UNSC passed Resolution 1874 on June 12, banning all arms exports from North Korea.
Likely not the first or the last North Korean ship to challenge the new measures, the Australian-owned, Bahamian-flagged cargo ship, the ANL Australia, that was seized in the UAE was nevertheless the one that made headlines.The 10 containers of rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition, and other prohibited items disguised as oil equipment found on board had been ordered by the Tehran-based Tadbir Sanaat Sharif Technology Development Center (TSS). TSS is a subsidiary of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) and both of them plus the South African company, Icarus Marine (Pty) Ltd., were named in a U.S. Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security Temporary Denial Order (TDO) on 14 April 2009.
At that time, the TDO was imposed because IRISL and TSS were about to take delivery of a Bladerunner S1 powerboat, the “Bradstone Challenger,” for intended use by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). The Bradstone Challenger caught the Commerce Department’s attention not only because it features U.S.-origin engines and other components, but because it is a highly-capable fast attack craft that the IRGC arms with torpedoes, rocket launchers, and anti-ship missiles and sends out in swarms to harass U.S. ships traversing the Strait of Hormuz.
The original TDO carried an expiration date of 22 July 2009. The ANL Australia reportedly was seized at the end of July. Even though the entire IRGC, IRISL and its naval fleets are listed by the U.S. Treasury Department as Specially Designated Nationals to which unlicensed export or re-export of prohibited items is a violation of U.S. Export Administration Regulations, somehow it doesn’t come as any real shock that regimes evil enough to rape young girls before execution and use political prisoner populations to test biological weapons agents just might choose to disregard such niceties -- or wait for their expiration date.
This is where the picture really begins to not make much sense. The UAE, and especially Dubai, is a known hub for the transshipment of all manner of goods, legitimate and not, including weapons and Afghan heroin, into and out of Iran. The large Iranian expatriate community in the UAE supports the tight economic relationship with the IRGC-dominated mullahs’ regime in Tehran. But at a time when the international spotlight is focused more than ever on North Korean ships heading for the Middle East, it seems odd that Iran would be giving a green light to a weapons cargo like this. It also begs the question why the weapons discovered on the one ship to have been turned in by the UAE (thus far) are so mundane. Kudos to the UAE for this demonstration of support for the UNSC sanctions, but is a batch of RPGs really the worst cargo putting in to Abu Dhabi these days? It gets worse.
On August 19, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson played host to two North Korean diplomats from Pyongyang’s U.N. mission. Gurgling happily about a possible “thaw” in relations, Gov. Richardson told reporters afterward that North Korea is ready to engage in a dialogue with the U.S. (again).
This upbeat announcement comes shortly on the heels of former President Bill Clinton’s 4 August visit to North Korea, where he obtained the release of two American journalists held by Kim Jong Il’s regime after they had ‘strayed’ into North Korean territory.
Gov. Richardson hinted helpfully that the North Koreans obviously feel entitled to some kind of reward for having let the two reporters go free. Myanmar’s military junta might be looking for some quid pro quo of its own after permitting yet another wayward American to leave that country on August 16 in the company of visiting U.S. Senator Jim Webb, who’d negotiated his release. John William Yetlaw is the swimmer who violated the house arrest restrictions on Myanmar’s most famous political prisoner, Aung San Suu Kyi. Webb, too, burbled cheerily to reporters, telling them about the atmosphere of goodwill and trust that is building with the genocidal generals of Rangoon. The capstone episode of the summer was the 21 August release of Pakistan’s father of the Islamic bomb, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, from all restrictions on his movement. The nuclear scientist whose black market proliferation activities spanned the globe and gave Iran and Libya the foundations of their nuclear weapons programs, A.Q. Khan will now be free to resume his busy career on behalf of a country beset with a jihadist threat both from within and without.
The Obama administration must surely have known about the seized North Korean ship and its weapons cargo before granting the special approvals required for the North Korean diplomats to travel from New York to Santa Fe. It probably knew about it even before President Clinton’s trip to Pyongyang. Whether the White House or Intelligence Community had any advance knowledge about AQ Khan’s impending release is not publicly known. If there is any connection between these various events, it is not immediately apparent what it is. But what is both obvious and worrisome is that this administration lacks a strategic framework of principles and objectives for dealing with a very real and very active axis of evil that means harm to U.S. national security. As the renowned Purdue University law professor, Louis Rene Beres, likes to say, “International law is not a suicide pact.” If North Korea and Pakistan are permitted to continue aiding and abetting Iran, Myanmar, Syria, and who knows who else to “go nuclear,” American strategic doctrine will have to scramble to persuade anyone that the U.S. retains truly persuasive military power and the will to use it.
Given the events of August 2009 and the alliances both obvious and concealed (such as Iran’s long-standing relationship with al-Qa’eda) that are moving inexorably to acquisition of catastrophic offensive power, a U.S. policy that incapacitates our intelligence capabilities, abandons our missile defense shield, makes nuclear Global Zero a national priority, and pleads piteously for reciprocity from the thugs of the world, exposes us all to Armageddon.
