New here. I drive Nurzhan to Chu District at night, fuel and building materials.

Since summer: cement trucks, every night, turning off about 40 km east of Nurzhan onto the road with no sign. Escort cars front and back. Before this year, maybe one truck a week. Now six, seven a night.

Somebody is building something big at Boz-Korgon. Or finishing it.

THE BUSH PALACE. Everybody in Talas knows. Built for the Bush family in the 2000s, payment for walking away in 2006. And now a family is moving in. Which family? Ask the cement.

WAKE UP IRAD

Welcome, Chu, and thank you for no names. Ak, "everybody knows" is not a source.

I don't know about Bush. I know cement. Also one night three horse trailers. Nice ones. Aluminium.

HORSE TRAILERS. Stables for the palace. It is all in the FreeIrad article, read it.

A gentle point, if I may. When I lived in Alatau Heights in the late 90s, the compound east of Nurzhan was already being built, by the territorial administration, as an emergency site. A neighbour of mine typed up tender documents for it. It is older than any Bush visit.

That does not mean nobody lives there now. Chu's cement is cement.

Your neighbour typed the tenders. Of course he did. Amerikanka knows everything about the palace except who it is for. Interesting.

Escort cars are Gendarmerie now, not private security. Changed this month.

My cousin's friend (yes, I know) delivered furniture there. He says: a very big kitchen. A kitchen for many people.

every rumour on this forum ends in a kitchen

I tried to find Boz-Korgon on the satellite map for the Portal. There is only grey. Maybe my computer

NOT your computer, Erbol. GREY. Boz-Korgon means GREY FORTRESS and the satellite shows grey. They are laughing at us.

HERALD TODAY: "Governor's Family Takes Up Residence at Boz-Korgon". Property filings, Chu District land register. The family is there SINCE 2011.

Chu was RIGHT in September. The cement was RIGHT.

And the same article says construction began in 1995 as a continuity-of-government site, and that "no document transferring title to anyone has been found". So: the family lives there, yes. The Bush part, no.

Uncle. Read that sentence slowly. NOT FOUND. That is what people say when they did not look very hard.

Told you. Cement doesn't lie. Road still has no sign though.

Now we know who the cement was for. Herald: Governor's family takes up residence at Boz-Korgon.

I drive. I see. I told you in September.

In 1992 rich men also built strong houses outside the city. When the guns came, strong houses did not help much. I do not think about it more than that.

Bump. The road has a sign now. "Restricted area. State property." Took four years.
