On July 14th, a terrorist laid on took house inward Hurghada, a favorite finish of German, Czech, in addition to other tourists inward Egypt. The 29-year-old Abdel-Rahman Shaaban spoke High German fluently in addition to was ordered past times IS-related militias to target white women. He swam from a populace beach to a Zahabia Hotel beach in addition to stabbed vi women – 5 Germans in addition to 1 Czech. Two High German women died immediately.
What happened to the Czech victim of the stabbing attack, Ms Lucie Civínová of Nové Strašecí (36), the pinnacle accountant inward the Soccer Association of the Czech Republic?
Well, the resolution is tragic. But how were nosotros informed? H5N1 solar daytime after the attack, the media told us, amid similar news:
On Saturday, the Czech ambassador to Arab Republic of Egypt Hon Ms Veronika Kuchyňová Šmigolová confirmed that the injured Czech adult woman hasn't suffered whatever serious injuries. "They alone desire to transfer her [to a hospital] because aside from the cutting on her leg, she also has a gash on her back. So they only desire to perform some other medical examination."Well, some days ago, nosotros learned that her status worsened. Yesterday, it was already known that an infection has caused malfunction of several organs (physicians were no longer recommending the risky transfer to Czechia) in addition to today, already nether the supervision of Czech physicians, she was declared clinically dead (blood hasn't gone to the encephalon for hours which is no good) although she's nonetheless connected to some machines. My condolences to her family, friends, in addition to colleagues.
[Update on Thursday: She died hours later.]
The "nothing burger" quote well-nigh the calorie-free injuries inward a higher house wasn't exceptional. I've heard it from many sources. I don't sympathise how someone could e'er live "relaxed" when a terrorist successfully stabs yous at to the lowest degree at ii places. The employment may live to a greater extent than than only a cutting or two. The knife could receive got been contaminated past times some germs. And Egypt's healthcare is likely non the #1 healthcare inward the world.
It seems extremely probable to me that the intelligence well-nigh the Czech victim were downplayed intentionally. And I am non the alone one. Václav Klaus Jr, a shadow Czech government minister of pedagogy in addition to the older boy of a Czech ex-president, wrote on his Twitter account:
Two stabbed High German women in addition to quiet afterwards. Now, a Czech lady is struggling to survive. The Bolshevik used to inform inward a similar way. I despised it thus in addition to I despise is now.I totally agree. The communist government was using propagandist tricks – including distortions of the truth in addition to outright lies – inward monastic enjoin to brand itself hold off to a greater extent than tolerable. When something bad happened in addition to the communist organization was at to the lowest degree partially responsible for it, the trial "had to be" downplayed, misinterpreted, or completely hidden. The communist government had a monopoly over the data sources thus the people couldn't actually acquire the truth – at to the lowest degree non rapidly enough, in addition to at to the lowest degree non from majority sources of data inward their woman rear natural language located on their territory.
The Bolshevik was reporting similarly e.g. well-nigh the Chernobyl accident – at the beginning, almost nada happened, thus at that topographic point could live a piffling flake of a problem, but it would live solved.
This mentality, the instinctive ask to soothe in addition to manipulate the masses – it's almost identical today equally it was then. Let's alter it – let's homecoming this province to the people.
Sadly, the province of affairs is really analogous now. Just similar the official press wanted to pigment the communist government equally ameliorate than it was, the contemporary mainstream media piece of work difficult to brand the Muslims, Arabs, terrorists, in addition to their domestic allies hold off nicer, less dangerous, in addition to less harmful than they are. This is the argue why it oft takes it thus much fourth dimension to acquire that an trial was an Islamist attack; that your compatriot was a victim; that she is at adventure of decease inside ii weeks. We can't say the Czechs that a Czech adult woman was a full-blown victim of a terrorist attack, tin move we? The Czechs could misinterpret this intelligence equally evidence that the Islamic terrorism is existent in addition to it may kill Czechs, too.
Well, the people who depict this decision aren't misinterpreting anything. They are correctly interpreting the facts. And those who desire to preclude the undistorted facts from flowing to the citizens' ears are muddy propagandists in addition to liars. Too bad, they receive got a close monopoly on the distribution of data only similar the communist press had a close monopoly upward to Nov 1989. The precise sources of the monopoly – the political forces they construct upon – are somewhat dissimilar in addition to less "total" or "totalitarian" than they were during communism. Communists actually controlled almost all branches of the club piece the pro-Islamic folks "only" command things similar the media, NGOs, political secretariats of many parties, in addition to offices of most of the of import CEOs, amid others.
But the terminal effect – the inaccurate, misleading, biased, or missing data – is really similar to the 1980s, indeed. These people's command over the club is less "total" than the communists' ability used to be; but their dishonesty is only about the same.
Vaguely related: Today, an "EU adviser" told the European Court of Justice to decline the lawsuits of Republic of Hungary in addition to Slovakia against the migrant quotas. Also, the European Commission – led past times a commissar for migration, the Greek Islamofascist jerk Avramopoulos – reiterated an ultimatum against Czechia, Poland, in addition to Republic of Hungary which receive got 1 calendar month to give upward in addition to start to Islamize their territories.
This novel threat is a non-event inside V4, of course, because no pol is considering for a minute to give upward in addition to start to "relocate" the illegal immigrants here. I mean value it could live an fantabulous catch to concord inside V4 in addition to declare this jerk to live a persona non grata inside V4, only to brand him certain that it's non alone the unelected scumbags such equally himself who may impose punishments.
Some ameliorate news: an European Union courtroom ruled that Republic of Austria (and Slovenia...) indeed has the right to acquit asylum seekers because Republic of Austria isn't the maiden of all country. Also, the BBC began to usage the term "migrant" instead of the demagogic "refugee" for the generic members of the incoming masses of Muslims.
Bad news: Another European Soviet's commissar Mr Timmermans announced he plans to start "Article 7" (stripping of voting rights) against Poland after president Duda vetoed 1/3 of the judicial reform laws in addition to approved 2/3 of them (the innocent ones). Timmermans should live declared a persona non grata inward Poland in addition to mayhap V4, too.
