DIe Abschiedsbegründung,

KremlinKam is dead," announced its owner,
Charles Boensch, of Ergo Alliance Ltd.
Thank you, dear visitors, for making KremlinKam the 7th most popular web
camera of its kind in the world. People from many countries found it to be of cultural,
educational, and historical value - as well as a fun place
to visit.
Many school children found it helpful in their studies. KremlinKam was even featured in
USA Today and recognized by Discovery.com.
It was visited by over 3 million people.
Due to political and corporate turmoil, management within MOSENERGO changed,
and for no other rational reason than mean-spiritedness, one functionary had our camera
jerked from a perfect vantage point atop an unused structure.Another person reportedly accused KremlinKam as being a "spy camera,"
as if a
cruise missile couldn't pinpoint, with infinitely more accuracy, the Kremlin
using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and terrain mapping to accomplish a nuclear catastrophe!
KremlinKam was just an ordinary (although very expensive) outdoor website.
It never made anybody any money; it was there because so many people enjoyed
seeing such a beautiful picture."I personally believe that KremlinKam was taken off due to mismanagement of
Delta Capital and The U.S. Russia Investment Fund (TUSRIF), who took control
of Multi-Page, Russia's largest paging company and main sponsor of KremlinKam,
together with new senior staff, within MOSENERGO," said Charles Boensch,
former General Director and founding partner of Multi-Page, and visionary who
first established KremlinKam.
KremlinKam is dead, all because, and because primarily, of MOSENERGO, the
monopolistic electricity and hot water provider to Moscow and the
surrounding region.
"How such a large, 50,000 person corporate structure could do such a
thoughtless act is beyond my comprehension, given its financial visibility
around the world and its market trading," said Boensch,
who added that stock traders and investment bankers routinely visited KremlinKam. "MOSENERGO never paid a dime; but it did generously offer a fine vantage point,
under the prior MOSENERGO president, who liked the idea of culture and positive international exposure," said Charles Boensch.
Due to the hundreds upon hundreds of comments from all around the world,
Charles Boensch has not been able to answer them all. Nor has he received a
rational reply from MOSENERGO, let alone a formal letter of apology. "While
my company owns the trademark and various high-level domain names of
KremlinKam, operating something at a loss and with people who do not care is
not interesting.. Some functionary can change his mind at any minute; that
does not instill investor confidence on any level.. I wish to thank all the
fine visitors and their heart-moving comments. While reconnecting the
webcam itself practically trivial, do not expect any grand strategies on
anyone's part in the future - it requires something called..."ideas" and a sense of passion.Goodbye, KremlinKam
