One more example of propaganda The text reads: "Putin's bloody bombing revenge". "Already 2000 died, 15 settlements under fire, survivors hide in basements, the situation is catastrophical". This is true: 2000 died, 15 settlements burning, and etc. And yes, Putin makes revenge. To whom did it all to South Ossetia: Georgian army. Yeah, just one line omitted turns black to white and vice versa. Even if all other lines are true. PS The woman interviewed by Fox said today on Russian television that when they came to US they seen a video of burning city on TV (CNN) and it was said that it's Gori bombed by Russians, but shockingly it was Tskhinvaly shelled by Georgians. I also read somewhere (I read a lot past few days and I don't bookmark everything) that the operator who shot the video returned from Ossetia (BTW he's a Russian reporter) and he said the same. Tskhinvali After WarPhotos of Tskhinvali, a capital of South Ossetia, after the war. Some photos are really hard to look at. Consequences of "restoring constitutional order" and "internal police operation" as the Georgian military operation "Clear field" was called in Georgia and U.S. http://voinodel.livejournal.com/20990.html Although the city was not "completely leveled" (like Stalingrad or Dresden in WW2) as it was reported by Ossetian officials, it is definitely heavily damaged. According to report, 10% of buildings were destroyed completely and 20% severely damaged. Other buildings have minor damage - no glass, shell-splinters and etc. With help of Russian builders people will be able to return to their houses soon enough. Estimation of from 1400 to 2000 killed civilians seems to be correct so far. Общие виды Цхинвали и др.Наконец-то появились фотографии общего вида Цхинвали и оценка реальных разрушений: http://lenta.ru/news/2008/08/17/destory/ 10% зданий уничтожено полностью, 20% имеют повреждения. С оценкой потерь среди гражданского населения (1600 человек) стыкуется, но насчёт "стёртого с лица Земли" Цхинвали, безусловно, ерунда. P.S. Ещё к вопросу о честности отечественных СМИ (по зарубежным последние дни хорошо поездили, надо и на своё бревно в глазу поглядеть): а) http://www.kp.ru/daily/24146.4/363105/ И ещё про известного деятеля Сванидзе: а) http://www.gazeta.ru/culture/2008/08/11/a_2807896.shtml У нас что, два разных Сванидзе? Фото Цхинвали и про КП via alexshoora @ livejournal.com. PPS Применительно к фотографиям, полезно добавить два поста: PPPS Интервью Аманды Кокоевой и её тёти (те самые, которые отожгли на Fox), нашему "Вести": PPPPS Более мрачные виды Цхинвали и немножко Грузии: PPPPPS Это с обширным текстом, фото очень жестокие: How the propaganda worksCNN: When asked about those reports, Rice responded Saturday, "The Russians perhaps are already not honoring their word."The fragment is absolutely truthful. But after reading it, most people will have a false impression about "Russians not honoring their word". One have to stop for a few seconds and think unbiased to realize that in fact this means: "Rice tells lies and slanders Russia, which holds its word of peace." But very few people will do that; over 90% will just have the first sentence burnt in their minds and the second sentence will be soon forgotten. That's an example of NLP. Покупая "Кока-Колу", вы покупаете патроны для ГрузииДа, за последние дни я заполитизировался так, как никогда в жизни. Теперь, стоя у полки в магазине и выбирая газировку, я совершенно непроизвольно думаю о том, что из моих денежек за "Колу" пойдёт немножко в США, там с них в американскую казну заплатят налоги, а потом из этой казны привезут новые M16 и успокоительные таблетки для Мишико - ну, взамен отобранных нашими солдатами в Гори. Так что куплю-ка я лучше квас, от греха подальше. Даже не знаю, здоровые это мысли или нет, но вот так. Archives
