A LGBT staff activist at Aeroflot, Russia’s largest airline, Maxim Kupreev, was forced by his employer to enter into a sham marriage to a woman, requiring her to divorce her own husband to do so. Russian activists are calling for airline passengers to make alternative arrangements and boycott Aeroflot for its disturbing violation of employee human rights.
Gay activists in Russia are planning to ask air passengers to boycott Aeroflot, Russia’s leading airline and not to use its services until the creation of equal conditions for all workers.
The call comes following the revelation that gay flight attendant Maxim Kupreev was forced by his employers to enter into heterosexual marriage with his former high school girlfriend following his announcement last year to create an LGBT group within the company to fight for the protection of the rights of homosexual employees.
LGBT activism is routinely suppressed in Russia and activists are badly treated by the government, but this expansion of the government’s repression of human rights is disturbing.
According to internal Aeroflot sources reported by GayRussia.eu, 25-year-old flight attendant Maxim Kupreev was given an ultimatum late last year to enter into heterosexual marriage or to lose his job. At the end of 2011 he married his school friend Sofia Mikhailova who got the right to fly Aeroflot for 10% of the fare – and other company privileges.
In order to register marriage with Kupreev, Mikhailova had to dissolve her real marriage to Grigoriy Andreykin. The divorce was finalised on 11 October last year.
‘Aeroflot effectively broke a real marriage and created a sham one,’ Alekseev said.
So much for the sanctity of the marital bond.
This fight in Aeroflot has gone on since June.
In July 2011 gay activists tried to picket the central office of Aeroflot in support of the first lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender group in the major Russian company and to denounce the pressure on its founders.
But the Moscow authorities banned the event over ‘security concerns’. And the organisers of the picket, who planned to defy the ban, cancelled the event at the request of Kupreev.
Both the Taganskiy District Court and the Moscow City Court later ruled that the ban was lawful. This decision last year is expected to be appealed to the European Court of Human Rights.
Aeroflot is in an “alliance” with Delta so if your overseas travel plans originate with Delta you may voice your concerns to them should you decide to join the boycott that begins on February 9.
On Friday (27 January) Moscow Pride activists officially notified Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin about their intention to conduct a rally on 9 February, the 89th anniversary of the creation of civil aviation in Russia and birthday of Aeroflot.
They plan to condemn discrimination policy of the state owned airline against homosexual workers and will demand dismissal of Aeroflot from the global airline alliance, Sky Team, which is led by Air France-KLM and includes American carrier Delta.

If I plan any trips I won’t be taking Aeroflot. Is this business as normal in Russia or a sign that maybe Putin wants to scapegoat Gays to take people’s minds off the economy and protests.
The Czar used to do this with Jews he would let the Cossacks raid I recall without sending in troops.
Normally the Cossacks didn’t raid other Russian villages unless well they knew nothing would happen.
Its kind of like Tea Baggers going to healthcare meetings with guns but nothing ever happened to them.
OWS however well you would think from the official police response to them that they had guns.
Russia has a bunch of minorities many Muslim I bet they are getting hassled too if this is coordinated by the government.
Of course an Anti Gay CEO at Aeroflot could do this all by himself do we have any intel?
Maxim is a hottie. I just asked Mr. B and we’ll adopt him so he doesn’t need to be married.
Jeesh, what a world. It’s just insane.
Hands off, buster. Saw him first; Patrick says he’s dreamy….
(Click through the first link to see what Kelly and I are fighting over now….)
Women spend thousands on botox to get lips like that. He is a hottie.
Piss off missy! Me and Mr. B. got dibs what with the Russki foundation and all.
Anyhoo, jeez, I cannot for the life of me figgur this out. I sent a note to Vadushka when I saw this story; haven’t heard back yet.
But fergawdsakes this doesn’t sound very Russki to me. Russians don’t like that.
Sounds elsehow smelly to me. Sounds religulous, sounds eh…

I think that’s from their demonizing gays, that so as to
1) associate political foes with the demonized (a broad
strategy, but in every day “”transference”" of fear, that
the basis of what I call “”Government by Transference;”")
2) and more broadly: It’s actually simply Divide and Conquer,
apart from the slight-of-hand diversion from one’s own
self-serving purposes (e-hem…that means corruption,
on top of demagoguery or general crazy bullsh.)
They actually force gays to marry heterosexually in their own
community.

I call the above “”Sociobiologic Apoptosis,”" for self-non-reproduction.
Most Russians desparately want “”free, equal, happy.”" That is
the conclusion of history and the only means of survival.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8At8zfh_o3E
Left not told variously they’re defective, second-rate beings, not deserving of human dignity, should be exterminated, etc.
gays reached optimal occurence in the absolute most “”normal”" sense
long long before the 2% of human history during which humans had
writing.
They serve numerical genetic advantage “”of the group,”" actually by
a virtual infinity of ways very readily conjured. The Spartans, of course, are well known to have simply proudly fielded gays in their
armies, recent evidence from a British female archaeologies has
revealed.
Thus, the more privileged by way of the above process within one’s community, or the more gay-bashing, the likelier the SURPRISE! gay
hypocrite doing the Hitler act, and speaking of whom, Hitler was
famously feminine, just as Oliver Stone proferred JFK was murdered
substantially by gay fascists.
Where the antagonist is not simply the basher/hypocrite with the gay son or the billionaire play-acting in women’s clothes in the woods in an all-male club, and is actual a would-be “”exterminator,”" as in the case of African preachers advocating that, virtually all murderers of gays in the U.S. have proven being gay, often running to places like Aryan Nation country after the deed.
In the case of the Africans, our planet provides a canvas with all manner of calibration. The Chinese are traditionally morally
identical, I have contemplated, except for this singular strategy.
But in Africa there has not been enough time for “”sociobiologic
apoptosis”" to have run its course. But it should be becoming
a little more apparent, with side-by-side social effects comparable
mid-way between East / West.
What follows integrates my own particular freakasauris-like
new ideas respecting the more mundane stuff above.
(Means: you’re encouraged to leave now unless you are one
heck of a curious and open-minded person.)
Historians call it periodization. Computer scientists and
freakasauris types like myself look at the web bot, iChing, digital
forensics, the cross-referencing of probabilities and relativity
as may have occurred in Nostradamus’ potential code, inasmuch as
that looks something like Pascal’s Triangle, and in economics it looks like the probabilities running hand in hand with the relativity created by preceding choices, that as if you didn’t already know a stock chart is a picture of human psychology.
Compare the event streams in these manners and voila:
math. history. morality. become one.
Make no doubt about it. These things motivated Newton, Nostradamus and today possibly Nassim Taleb (except this likely, given as it is,
looks to freakasauris for him to sign onto) and those who would only
be distracted by the obviousness of what:
experimental science? The above is not mystical.
UFO’s? I think it’s a deliberate process.
Even if there is a God gene, that would have been to assure
we followed the deliberate process. I’m guessing the lesson
is as to information just maybe being “”transformation”" after all,
as this must have much to do with travel.
Now here this, going further out: no worm hole in Nostradamus’
closet.
Reverse gravity, field propulsion don’t cut it. (stars many
light years away.)
I’d go with an energy, everyone’s “”story”" working like Legoland,
and Ch’i being the energy.
Oh brother, I’m reluctant to click Submit on this one. I in fact
was none of this until a few months ago.
I feel the choices / probabilities / relativity, understandable
in virtually everything, the effects seen web bot-like even appearing “”fractal,”" (fractals: actually a dead-simple-stupid
concept: from the tiniest speck of anything, iterations to everything,) is actually something which after a few moments of
thought your various professors will admit to finding grabbing.
The Nostradamus stuff, I admit. They’ll go uh-uh.
Anyhoo, I think it’s a DELIBERATE lesson, with morality defining
much about information’s nature, and now that for many reasons but
for nothing else, than because it could not have been a hypocritical
lesson at its core.

RT #BOYCOTT Aeroflot if you agree.
Got more of whatever you’re smokin’? Cuz it’s wicked fierce.
I admit I was afraid to check the replies this morning.
From my own comments page you’ll see I’m just an ordinary
guy most the time.
As to event streams, choices, decisions, new choices, and
a new set of probabilities (“tails” to economists,) also be
aware of Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, whose work has been
successful on a mathematical level in predicting world
events.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Bueno_de_Mesquita
Entropy says events move only forward though are viewable
backward.
But, our math, when connected with our reality, views
our future in advance.
Even if you can see the man in another solar system, which
when you look up at the sky is a view from thousands of
years ago, but then see him somehow in real time, that
view is still distorted (“gravitational lensing.”)
This is what makes Nostradamus, not a mystic if seen
as being interested in event streams on a mathematical level,
1: simply a precursor to Newton and
2: really interesting as he, as some suspect (frankly, I do,)
DID see personalities from the future in “real time.”
Taking the above combined, the pie-in-the-sky prospects are:
1: information lives
2: the same thing that informs us of that also informs us
how to travel vast “distances.”
Holy Smokes:
H/T to @rainbowcouch who suggests holding accountable Amsterdam-headquartered, Dutch-managed SkyTeam for the behavior of its member, Aeroflot.
Dear FDL leadership. This being 1/31, and hardly anyone finding this comment at this location, my placing this here should, I hope you will agree, is not unprotective of FDL’s freedom from commenter’s obnoxiousness.
The only people who will see this now are those specifically
going here:
http://my.firedoglake.com/members/holygenes
which I’m leaving here as discreetly as possible so as to
not spamming from its presence here, even though it’s at FDL.
They already have the “sociobiologics” at this location along
with much honest politics and economics, FDL being a rare provider of that, including from myself in the most mundane
but hopefully occasionally newly insightful ways, from many
persons around the clock.
So, they’re only looking for me for the “freakasauris” ideas.
Otherwise, on a column-contemporaneous basis, I’ll just stick
to “haircuts” with taxpayers picking up the banks’ haircuts but
oddly with neither major party’s leadership acknowledging that
(it sure looks like the DP needs a new internal movement.)
Notwithstanding the above rationalization, I promise I won’t
repeat the likes of this for a whole whole lot of time.
You can trust I fully consider myself being on probation even
though sites like RealClearPolitics have all sorts of
categories attracting kook stuff.
The Duel (Nostradamus) has a specific dual meaning, ((stuff
with potential spam value removed)) but it also incorporates a code which is most surely important for communicating to
us Nostradamus” foreknowledge, and, as I argue, an
understanding on Nostradamus’ part as to the manner of
considering events and math simultaneously that historians
refer to as “periodization,” the economists refer to as
“tails,” etc. Namely, and this should be read with other
narrative here respecting relating probabilities with relativity seamlessly, this all pertains that moral decisions produce results definably mathematically.
Any variable can be made mathematical. That’s never been a trick. It’s not new to consider the universe is a computer. The very earliest conceivers of computers of a nature we know, which otherwise were a natural outgrowth of such things as the mag cards used for keeping statistical records of immigration through Ellis Island, N.Y., actually publicly theorized the universe might work like a computer.
As I indicated elsewhere, the Nostradamus page is by far the most important. That’s because there is reason to believe not simply that Nostradamus saw “personalities” “point-to-point” into Nostradamus’ “future,” and more importantly did so in “realtime,” as opposed to the fact that when you
make-believe seeing a person in another solar system you’re seeing that person from thousands of years ago. Even if you COULD see that person in “realtime” your view would STILL be distorted if only because of “gravitational lensing.” Nostradamus saw personalities point to point.
Potentially far more important:
Nostradamus may have created a framework within his code deliberately implying that moral behavior
1) determined event probabilities in the fully mathematical sense–as in Nostradamus intended that the math value be recognized
2) From that he likely contemplated what I will now propose.
First, I’m going to present these elements. This is something that everyone should have no problem at all in understanding. Just don’t get scared off by the names and concepts.
Blaise Pascal (as above, “Pascal’s Triangle.’)
Blaise Pascal again: Pascal’s Law
(??) That law: compress anywhere on a fluid in an incompressable state and the pressure within is the same throughout, regardless where the pressure is first applied.
Alan Guth (M.I.T.,) the “inflation.” The universe expanded
~instantaneously, or, more plainly, at a rate greater than even the speed of light (which characterization I will review for myself; however, the general concept of one big quick inflation of the universe, even as we know its expansion is
accelerating, is really all that matters for what I’m doing.)
This website is the only one connecting Nostradamus with
the above elements. I propose Nostradamus communicated
the universe’s earliest speck of information,
the earliest fractal, bit, whatever, immediately took on a character, which was literally of a character, without which it may not even conceptually have been able to exist.
That character is what evolved into an aspect we know in our
lives as moral. That integrated into “emergent” cause and effect as surely did more primitive forms of cause and effect.
That process defined the universe’s physics and mathematics as
much as did inorganic celestial bodies crashing into each other.
Nostradamus was immediately followed by Pascal, whose
Law as to fluids is an early look-alike to Guth’s.
Guth’s inflation is a physical construct separate from
(Pascal’s) confined fluids.
But the concepts would equally impact Nostradamus. He
learned of a universal equally spreading effect just the same.
I think his code suggests an intuition as to choices and
probabilities stacking on one another.
That gets iterated and re-iterated by the passing of event streams
(what Nostradamus is all about) but possibly also it’s implied
in the very construction of the code.
That’s the fractalization of choices that are
simultaneously moral and mathematical.
Pascal’s Triangle, a depiction of how
probabilities fan out after iterations of choices,
(currently simply…) resembles Nostradamus’ code.
Pascal’s Triangle, of course, is also fractal in nature,
being entirely based on iterations of process.
Nostradamus appears to have intuited how choices once
made–to new realilty– back to new choices again (in economics
that would essentially be the work of the
likes of Nassim Taleb, which integrates elements beyond
simple probabilities, so it’s a bit beyond simply “tails,”) lead to
more choices in expanding fashion.
After them came Newton, obviously directly influenced in turn by
the likes of, and probably most particularly, Pascal
and definitely I think yes, Nostradamus.
I see Nostradamus as not mystical but rather a key, right step
among those titans in this exploration.
From the above, thanks to Nostradamus, potentially is:
The universe began with a fractal of information, the purpose
of which for its own existence was taking on a character, which
character is mathematically identifiable as being if this, then that,
and if those things, then those more things,
with event streams identifiable as moral ones.
Information appears to enjoy degrees of life that has to
draw from an enabling element, which by process of elimination
I say let’s call it Ch’i.
That energy must work something along the lines of gravity
in string theory; that is, it’s the most ubiquitously plentiful but is potentially,
but not necessarily, of course,depending on its functional character,
among the weakest in terms of
local influence (in string theory that happens to be true of
gravity though those unfamiliar initially find that counter-intuitive.)
Using the line of introspection of Pascal and Guth, that
morality / information permeated the universe equally faster
that the speed of light–I means, we’re talking Guth-fast.
The morality-information’s “inflation” enabled a mathematical manner of
understanding in a mathematical universe, as everything is mathematical
of course, but morality and information grew by way of event streams
consistent with the conceptualizations: Pascal’s Triangle,
Nostradamus’ human moral paths, that math, and that morality,
one and the same.
Knowing about this energy, should it exist,
may enable travel for vast distances.
This website is about a lesson in science, morality and a new understanding of history being conveyed. There’s a morality that incorporates obvious hypocrisies into our history but which looks underneath that deliberate in purpose. And it must be conveyed. Hello, obviously this is a universe with life spread across it. It also must be conveyed because of many compelling reasons, among them the cross-hemispheric nature of our planet’s telling ancient structures and stories, now all working together like Legoland. The Eastern morality is the same as the Western.
When scapegoating turns, history definitionally turns. That is the direct history-bound experiment’s description. The elements copy Egyptian ones, but now more likely to confirm their nature.
If scapegoating defines history and scapegoating ends, and thus
history definitionally turns, is that a time of telling?
Do we all recognize a history, a math, and a morality then?
Is it free, equal and love?
Is there a purpose for otherwise?
(It’s actually rhetorical. I don’t presume to know. (xxx…(spam value removed)) I’m of course interested in judging for control and scapegoating being the only distinction from all other major Earthly moralities, including the nominally Abrahamic ones’ self-professed values.
IF THIS IS CONVEYED, AND IF HISTORY IS DEFINITIONALLY
TURNING, THEN I’D EXPECT THAT UPON A SUCCESSFUL
COMPLETION OF AN OBVIOUS LESSON AND TEST IN
MORALITY, SCIENCE, AND A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY
THERE WILL BE PRESENTED PROOFS OF RELATION FROM
A PEOPLE WHO ARE ESSENTIALLY OUR PARENTS.
ALSO, A PROOF OF THAT EARLIEST, TECHNOLOGICALLY
TELLING MATH-MORALITY-INFORMATION-LIFE
CONNECTION WILL BE PRESENTED.
I WOULD EXPECT A PATTERN (IT
MAY ALREADY BE PRESENT IN SOME PRESENTATION ON EARTH,)
QUITE POSSIBLY JUST LIKE GARRETT LISI’S, BUT MOST LIKELY
THAT INFORMATIONAL STRUCTURE MUST TAKE ON A
LIFELIKE NATURE WHEN SUBJECTED TO THE THEORIZED NOVEL
ENERGY, CH’I.
Meanwhile, back at the farm, I’m on board with the boycott
of Aeroflot, but I don’t fly to Moscow often and have never
seen them as a carrier for the European points I DO go to.
