NATO phonetic alphabet. All who do aeronautics and seafaring must know it too, if I'm not mistaken. (Reached a small glimpse of attention as the Bloodhound Gang put their song out called "Foxtrott Uniform Chalie Kilo" because it also used it in the title and fooled the radio stations because it spelled "fuck" without them noticing it right away.)
Yes, and that entry refers to the shit that happened in Berlin yesterday evening.
I don't always know if it's so good me using it. I make use of it whenever it fits and suits the purpose. You know, you're using something that exists in official language - maybe specific "language", but it exists in there. This is not like using a secret code only a few limited people understand because it's an inside thing - you know it or you don't know it.
Now I read everyone is scared to shop and it is so important for capitalists to sell lots of crap around Christmas time. I don't know, to me it is a torture to shop I would not want to go to markets and screw around anyways.
Part of it is rather media's rhetorics. Although you notice, German media is not very amused about needing to admit this has been a terroristic attack. It has taken a long time until they couldn't deny it anymore that it had been one that they've used these terms. That people get impressed at all and now want to do that stunt "oh, I'm so scared to go on a Christmas market - but I won't let anyone take that joy away from me!!", I can't understand it. Sounds to me like the same hysteria and rhetorics on Twitter like after the few assaults in France. A little bit of over-dramatic and trying to catch personal attention for themselves, those who voice that.
What amazing is selective attention of media, that is why I wonder if there is some agenda there. I read there was a terrorist attack somewhere in Jordan on December 18, for example, and 10 people are dead and more wounded and they didn't even mention it but the Berlin one is being talked about for days in row. I mean it is horrible but why discriminate unless you want to push some agenda?
There is always an agenda behind it, tell you. The Yemen war especially does not exist in German media, this is a complaint that regularly comes up from bloggers as well as people which also read Russian media like Sputniknews or RT Deutsch. International media I think it also doesn't look very much better. Very much something that appears at the sidelines.
