Something every PR person should see - neonazi's are back

So for those of you following world politics you know that Greece just held it's elections. Unfortunately I have to write this post quickly so I can't get in to all the implications (although they aren't good), but suffice to say the take away for me was that Greece's neonazi party - Golden Dawn -  won seven per cent of the vote and are now part of the government.

I mean, wtf, the nazi's are back? Well, they aren't Hitler's Nazis, but still.

Anyway, here is the press conference they held after their 'victory'. Can you imagine holding a press conference and yelling at reporters to stand and show respect?



It's mind boggling this is what things are coming to. Yet as every era in history has shown us, when people are subjected to poverty and suffering (when they had a taste of decent living), they tend to rise up - sometimes under the leadership of someone good, and sometimes under the ravings of madmen.

A quick search on YouTube brings up some ominous videos foreshadowing the type of sentiment that backs this so-called neonazi Golden Dawn.

All I can say is Thank You Goldman Sachs and George Bush for screwing the world up so badly that the Nazis are now back on the scene (and by thank you I really mean F-You).

Unbelievable.

A Look Back on 2017 / A Look Forward to 2018

Hard to believe it's been two years (and six books) since I started publishing. Thought I'd take a moment to look back on the journey, some of the highlights and what's in store for the future. Eyes Wide Open I had no idea what this publishing path would be like - I went in blind with nothing more than an interest in telling a story. It turned out to be way harder than I could have imagined. You'd think writing a book wouldn't be that difficult, but it is. It's not so much the book that readers see that's hard to produce, it's the ideas and writing that get left on the cutting room floor. But beyond the actual stories, learning Photoshop to do my own covers, understanding how to market my books, learning how to create print versions, and a dozen other things really opened my eyes to how much effort is required to get a book to market. Along the way I’ve had my moments where I questioned my sanity to put myself through the process. But...

Pew Research says Press Credibility In Decline

According to Pew Research negative opinions about the press are at an all time high. Definitely check out the source article because they have a ton of infographics that are worth looking at. The main graph related to the research is the one below: As you can see, the public no longer views the media as unbiased or fully accurate. There are dozens of variables that play in to this phenomena, but I think the biggest one is that the public has traditionally viewed the media as doing the people's work. Which is to say, they are kind of like the FBI, but they work for the people not the government. They are suppose to root out what is going on and inform the people so that society can hold politicians and corporations accountable (note the reoccuring theme of accountability that I talk about often in this blog, because it's a causal variable behind much of the issues in the world today). Over the past 15 or so years, the press has lost it's credibility with the p...
