Colors of phoenix
Phoenix is a myth figure that went through fire. It is a synonym for fantasy. I will use this weblog for all things that touch me. I try myself in English. Most times I won't check every word even though I risk writing quite some nonsense by not checking.

PR or how to influence public opinion


 

George W superman Bush junior and his potemkin-sort-of staff. His mom claiming, that having a shelter with ten thousands in a footballstadion, 2 m² each and two to three free meals is better, than what they had before Katrina hit.

It is very interesting what you can observe, and what jounalists and their editor in chief give a release for the public.

It all started me with two sources.

the latter: New Orleans Talking Blues

When levees are flooded and hurricanes roar, When the waters start seeping up under the door, You'd expect the escape plans to include the poor But this isn't that kind of song.

And a picture where Mr Bush junior asks for a bathroom break.

Those News-Companies that have to fear for their connections seem to feel fine with incubated reports. Those outside have less problems and start publishing reports, that shows how ruthless politicians use media to influence public opinion.

But nowadays there are a secondary sources and little memes make small sites with little to no resources all most as strong as those big media sites.

One of these sites started to spread word to the people of America, what was in the mainstream media in Germany: Lost In Translation or better put potemkin in biloxi.

You could tell that NO mayor Nagin started his career in a broadcast company. When he relized, that he desperately needed help, and there wasn't enough progress made, he attacked the Bush administration.

Around the globe there was help set up and waiting to come in but weren't allowed in. Trained helpers, food and medicine.

As far as I am concerned all this political correctness and inhumane rules on who is allowed to speak, where ,when ... who owns the money, to whom am I dependent ...

We lost judgment to what is right and what is wrong. i am disgusted. But I am also disgusted, when I see this kind of crapp.

I prefer a slight twingy lie like this: If he could go to Baghdad, why didn't Bush go to ...

esp. remembering Mr. Bush juniors visit to Mainz and just bathing in the masses 500 km further across the German border in Poland.

We are lied to by the media and we have to be aware of our biases, whereever we see, hear or read junks on the powerful.

The truth lies somewhere ... it is hard to judge. It is good, that at least we now have secondary sources and can evaluate for ourself what and how we think about things.

In the comments of respectful of Otters I found the following:

Somewhere in here is a truth, which the mind, the heart and the soul of the viewer must discern. And so we end always with story. Story flawed, and story true. The stories we tell tell more about us than we know.

Let's keep this in mind.

Some things in life


 

Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad ...

Being poor is ...

Being poor is knowing how hard it is to stop being poor.

Being poor is seeing how few options you have.

Being poor means having no margin for error in any action you take.

Writing for an international readership


 

It's been long time gone that I dreamt English and it was a very short period o' time. Then I didn't even manage to gain a certificate in proficiency. Later in my life I had three years in a row where I worked for a fortnight each as an interpreter. This and several years studying English leave a certain extend of English knowledge, but I am out of practice for more than ten years, thus a feeling of uncertainty to write nonsense is extrem and leaves an uneasiness.

What do I gain from writing for an international audience ... sorry readership? Now I was asked twice to internationalize projects?

The task: surmounting the barrier "uneasiness"...
