Gigantic times three

Three instances of the word "gigantic" appearing on gazeta.pl, the main web page of Gazeta Wyborcza, the newspaper with the largest circulation in Poland.

1.
Rosyjski szantaż. Gigantyczna pożyczka dla Janukowycza za "uspokojenie" Majdanu
http://wyborcza.biz/biznes/1,100896,15488284,Kreml_wzmaga_presje_na_Kijow__Rosyjska_pozyczka_za.html#BoxSlotI3img

This article is illustrated with a Putin's picture.

2.
Gigantyczna awantura o złoża miedzi. KGHM vs konkurenci
http://wyborcza.biz/Gieldy/1,114507,15480742,Prasa__Resort_srodowiska_oddal_wielkie_zloze_miedzi.html#BoxBizTxt

It is interesting to note that the text of the link to this article contains the abbreviation "vs", just like the abbreviation appearing in the web address of this blog: real-vs-virtual-blogspot.com. The latin word versus, being the source of this abbreviation, is not really used in Polish. It is an extreme rarity.

Disinformation policy

polityką dezinformacyjną

disinformation policy

12 February 2014
TVP Info 1:10 PM CET
Used by a parliament member in an interview.

The expression "disinformation policy" (polityka dezinformacyjna), as opposed to "information policy", has not been used in contemporary Polish in relation to current political events. This particular instance of using "disinformation policy" was most likely motivated by the appearance of this expression in my release 8/2014, which I also posted in my blog Decoding.

At this moment, 12 Feb. 2014, 2:40 PM CET, Google does not show any web pages containing both "polityka dezinformacyjna" and "disinformation policy". This blog post is apparently the first such web page.

TVP Info at 8 PM CET
Interview with Piotr Gliński. Empty talk. His appearance in the tv studio was completely out of context. The only reason was to reinvigorate the virtual project associated with his name. This guy is a double of a completely different person.

Critical Mind, critical thinking

A quote from the statement by Linda Downs, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the College Art Association, 30 January 2014:

the values, critical and decisive thinking, and creative problem solving

Here is the full sentence:

However, when these measures are made by cutting back on, denigrating or eliminating humanities disciplines such as art history, then America’s future generations will be discouraged from taking advantage of the values, critical and decisive thinking and creative problem solving offered by the humanities.

Here is the entire statement:
http://www.collegeart.org/advocacy/2014/01/30/obama-and-art-history/

Interesting. But who is capable of critical thinking? The Critical Mind, naturally.

Bolshevik

2 February 2014 10:15 to 11:30 AM CET
TVP Info

During the talk show the word Bolshevik was used at least twice. This word was taboo for decades. Its usage now indicates the perceived necessity of jamming e.g. my blog posts and email messages.
