Deutsch statt Französisch
Eine Debatte über die Aufwertung des Luxemburgischen (Lëtzebuergesch) und eine damit verbundene Abwertung des Französischen im offiziellen Sprachgebrauch begleitet den heutigen Besuch von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel in Luxemburg. Eine aktuelle Petition fordert, das Luxemburgische zur Ersten Amtssprache zu erheben. Kommt es dazu, dann müssten unter anderem die Gesetze des Landes vollständig aus dem Französischen ins Deutsche übersetzt werden; die Abkehr von Frankreich und die Hinwendung zu Deutschland würden ein weiteres Stück voranschreiten.

A War, a Boy on a Beach, and the Psychology of Humanitarian Crises
„We’re not equipped to deal with disasters on the scale of the Syrian war.“
To track how that played out before and after Kurdi’s death, Slovic and his team first turned to Google Trends, basically a database of keywords Google users searched for. As you’d expect, searches for “Syria,” “refugees,” and “Aylan” peaked in early September. Before that, there were no searches for “Aylan,” and search intensities for “Syria” and “refugees” had hovered around one-tenth their September peak.
But by the end of September, searches for “Syria” and “refugees” had fallen substantially, and there were hardly any searches for “Aylan” at all, Slovic and his colleagues note.

Obamas Rache
Die Eliten Amerikas und der EU fürchten offenbar den Einfluss- und Machtverlust. In der Tat wächst der Unmut über die Herrschenden in den westlichen Gesellschaften. Scheinbar existiert im Westen auch eine Furcht vor einem „alternativen“ Europa-Wertemodell Russlands, das für Euroskeptiker plötzlich attraktiv werden könnte. Dazu gesellt sich die Angst der Baltischen Staaten vor einem russischen „hybriden Krieg“. Obamas letzte außenpolitische Handlung: US-Kampfpanzer und Geschütze über Bremerhaven, Deutschland, Polen ins Baltikum schicken.

Vom Sog des Krieges
Dabei denkt man ja, man würde irgendwelchen Schutz genießen als Journalist, aber die Bedingungen aus den 1970er und 1980er Jahren sind für meine Generation endgültig vorbei. Wir sind nicht mehr nur Beobachter, wir sind auch Angriffsziel. Heute kauft sich kein Journalist mehr eine weiße, schusssichere Weste. Wer das macht ist lebensmüde und wird leicht zum Ziel für Scharfschützen und Entführungen.
